I don't have a copy of the program yet, but I have seen it in oper- ation and had a chance to look through the docs. It compares very well with Ascii Express Pro in all aspects. In its favor are better terminal emulation capability (supposedly does the VT-100), clock card support, and simpler macro implementation. On the down side, for file transfers you must specify file type (BAS, BIN, etc) unlike AE Pro where you only need to specify transfer mode (protocol or standard). The price is reasonable - $49.00 compared to $79.00 for AE Pro. This is doubly good since the Modem MGR package includes both Prodos and Dos 3.3 versions. The documentation is quite substantial and yet easy to read. I will attempt to get a closer look at it after the holidays and give a more indepth review. The three people I know who have it all swear by it and they were previous Ae Pro users. Eric S. Ford FORDE@EGLIN-VAX.ARPA ------
