Better suggestion - why doesn't Apple (not Claris) take all its copies of MacTerminal and have a bonfire, so that unsuspecting Mac purchasers quit buying this crippled program? Without the Apple imprimateur, they might look around and find things like Smartcom II. Best I can figure is that Apple plans some neato-keen communications features in System 7.0, which is why Claris didn't inherit MacTerminal. I'll withhold judgement until I see it, but I can't imagine anything working better for the way I do business than Smartcom II. (Others swear by Microphone and White Knight... fine. But have you ever found a rabid MacTerminal power user?) +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | Stephen Fleming | My employer doesn't pay for this account. | | fleming@cup.portal.com | In fact, my employer doesn't even know | | CI$: 76354,3176 | I'm here!
