You've never called an Opus?  Or a Fido with SEAdog front-end?  Those are
the two most common bulletin boards in the world!  PC-Host also supports
SEAlink.

I've never used PeopleLink.  But I thought I heard somewhere that GEnie
uses SEAlink (along with quite a few others).  The new Procomm does support
SEAlink.

Actually, for the best throughput, I'd suggest Zmodem, but it's tough to
implement (but if you want 95-98% throughput on the average, it's highly
recommended.. :-)
