>>Try unicom. It is a shareware program that I beleive you can ftp from >>ftp.cica.indiana.edu. It is a great program. Unicom is a windows, not DOS, program. It is also the most obnoxious nagware I ever had the displeasure to try. It may be a 'great program' to you. To me it was a lesson in how quickly a windows program can be trashed. Mark PS The best DOS VT emulator is mskermit. Period. I like qmodem for some of its flashy stuff, but it is a lousy VT emulator! So are all the other major shareware terminal programs that I have tried ( every one I know of, and I've been looking and trying since CP/M days). RBCOMM and COMMO are pretty good. Kermit is better. My solution? Right now I'm shelled out of qmodem and running mskermit. If I want the flash or to do zmodem, I just exit kermit back into qmodem. I use qmodem for things that don't need a good VT emulator and shell out into kermit for those that do.
