we're looking for a terminal emulator that does data checking on the terminal session itself, not just the file transfer mode (especially in the PC to host direction). any ideas? David Menges, ihnp4!druny!dcm, (303) 538-1407

To do something like that, you generally need some sort of protocol software on both ends, like the x.pc packet protocol. Both Microsoft Access and Omen Technologies' Professional Yam provide support (somewhat preliminary) for x.pc, but finding support software for the host end may be a problem. Pro-Yam has a feature that will send a ^S to the host if it starts receiving framing errors, as kind of a damage control mechanism, but that's probably not what you're looking for. One more warning: x.pc gives peculiar jerky performance for interactive sessions at baud rates below 2400-4800. For higher baud rates, it's pretty smooth. -- -------- Dan Frank uucp: ... uwvax!prairie!dan arpa: dan%caseus@spool.wisc.edu
