Yes! The new Softerm 2 uses a 3-button keyboard expander to provide
extended terminal functions like keyboard macros, accessing file
transfer menus, special characters and PF keys, etc. This reduces the
clutter of control-whatever-it-is usually found with other terminal
emulation packages. It also emulates a sizeable number of terminals.
Some emulations require 64K RAM (Televideo 950, HP 2622A, Honeywell VIP7801)
Speeds are from 50 to 9600 baud, depending on your communications
interfaces. It is also one of the relatively few programs that support
the Novation Apple-Cat ][ modem at 1200 baud. It reads DOS, Pascal
and CP/M disk without additional hardware or software. File transfer
protocols included are character, XMODEM/XMODEM7 and Softrans, Softerm's
own protocol. A FORTRAN77 source code is also included for implementing
Softrans on the host machine. Monthly updates are available from Softerm's
dialup computer in Tenessee.
