It is, without a doubt, the best communications program available for any computer anywhere at any price, and it's free. It'll do vt220 at 9600bps, no sweat, no XOFFs, no problem. In addition to all the file transfer protocols, you get the most comprehensive suite of terminal emulations I've ever seen. The macro processor is pretty slick, with some very nice functions. I can't say enough good things about this program. I love it. It's so convenient to use, and does so much, so well. By the way, the author, Simon Poole, is "around" on the net, and can probably be reached directly if you have any specific questions. I s'pose I could disclaim any relation to Simon or Uniterm, other than that of enthusiastic user, but it doesn't really matter since it's not a commercial product being distributed for any fees. Anyway... Get it. Nothing else is even worth considering. -- / /_ , ,_. Howard Chu / /(_/(__ University of Michigan / Computing Center College of LS&A ' Unix Project Information Systems
