Net.landians, this is really in response to another article, but there is a
problem somewhere in the net that won't let the mail through. Please bear with 
me on this on. Sorry to take up your time.

Hi,

My brother has a PC-jr, and he uses Crosstalk XVI. They have a special version
that is written specifically for the PC-jr, that is included with the IBM
version. Crosstalk is about $90.00 from most mail order houses.

Xtalk has a few (alot) of other very nice features, like a good kermit, xmodem
clink, crosstalk and plain text transfer capabilities, script files that can
do auto logins, auto file transmissions, what ever you want.

You can even access your computer from a remote location, and have it do things
for you (not full access, but enough to get and receive files).

I use Crosstalk at home and at work talking to a Gould 9000 BSD4.3, and to talk
to my brother on his PC-jr. It is a very nice program to use, and easy.

The PC-jr version is setup to work with the internal pc-jr modem, but can be
easily changed to work with any modem up to 4800 baud. Crosstalk will go faster
but I think the PC-jr slows things down to the point 4800 is the actual through
put achieved.


If you have any more questions, give me a call, or mail, or....

Good luck,
