I am thinking of starting to use Windows (386), but since I use communications
programs extensively (to communicate with Unix and VMS machines), I would like
to know if there are any such programs which work well with Windows386. The ones
that I have heard of are Crosstalk, Winqvt, TwinTalk and UniComm.  Does anyone
know if there will soon be a Windows version of ProComm?
	I have tried Winqvt, but found the screen font almost unreadable (in
VGA) and the Kermit download painfully slow. I downloaded a trial version of
TwinTalk but the install program choked (annoying after paying all the long 
distance charges....).
