In the latest issue of the Info-IBMPC Digest (vol. 3 issue 38)
someone gave a good review of Crosstalk 16, the communications
package for the IBM PC. He said, however, that the program does
not support the XMODEM protocol, but the latest versions (3.4 and
3.41) do indeed support XMODEM. These latest versions also
have a number of other improvements over earlier versions:
1) Support for the Hayes Smartmodem 1200B (the internal
version of the Smartmodem 1200).
2) Earlier versions were not able to keep up at 9600 bps in
simple terminal mode. 3.4 apparently has a larger buffer,
since the screen no longer is garbled during long listings at
9600 bps, althoough a <ctrl-s> still is not acted upon
as promptly as it should be.
3) 3.4 and 3.41 are available for the Texas Instruments Professional
Computer.
