After I bought Crosstalk for Windows, tried it, and found several
bugs, I phoned PC-Connection (whom I bought it from) and told them:

1) I hated the program

2) I found bugs in it

3) Crosstalk should be embarrassed to charge $129 for it, since I
don't believe it is worth that price

4) The Shareware program QVT is just as good if not better (however,
Crosstalk does have a more extensive script language)

5)  Since PC Connection provides recommendations to their users, they
should avoid this program and recommend ProComm Plus.

PC Connection said if I shipped Crosstalk for Windows back with
everything that originally came with the program (manuals, disks,
registration card, etc) they would gladly provide a refund.  I did,
and they did.  They guy on the phone said that he uses Procomm Plus
and wouldn't switch.  I told him that was a smart move since it's
about half the price of Crosstalk for Windows and about twice the
value.

PC Connection gives excellent customer service.  I estimate that I've
bought about $2K worth of stuff from them.  Obviously, I intend to
continue doing business with them.  Good company!
