There is a four day fuse on the files, so get 'em while you can.

ECU (Extended Call Utility) is a research and engineering async
communications program for SCO UNIX 3.2 and XENIX System V (on
80286 and 80386 systems), ISC 386/ix 2.2 (or later), SunOS 4.1,
ISC System V Release 4 and ESIX System V Release 4 V.3.2/386.
Porting is possible with "minor" effort to other systems based on
or similar to UNIX System V.

ECU provides the classic terminal communications facility of
passing keyboard data to a serial line and incoming data to the
computer video display.  In addition, a dialing directory, a
function key mapping feature, session logging, and other basic
features are available.

ECU presents to the host a flexible "ANSI" terminal type,
accepting any valid video control sequences from MS-DOS or SCO
documentation as of late 1990.  Support for arbitrary video
consoles is included.  ECU supports numerous file transfer
protocols: as of this writing, XMODEM, XMODEM/CRC, XMODEM-1K,
YMODEM/CRC Batch, ZMODEM/CRC-16, ZMODEM/CRC-32, C-Kermit 5 and
SEAlink are supported.

A very flexible procedure (script) language is also incorporated
to automate many communications tasks.  In addition to augmenting
interactive tasks, by using shell scripts and ECU procedures, ECU
can perform batch-style communications sessions in an entirely
"unattended" fashion.

For applications too unwieldy for the procedure language,
"ecufriend" programs are supported.  Friends are spawned by ECU
having access to the shared memory segment containing an
ECU-managed "screen image" and other data and having use of the
attached communications line.

ECU 3.20 was posted to comp.sources.misc in Volume 32.
