I'm trying to purchase a modem and communications software to
connect an IBM PC to a UNIX(tm) System. The modem and software
should have the following characteristics:
1. external modem is preferred - 1200 baud
2. auto answer
3. ability to dial the phone from the keyboard
4. file down/up load
5. ability to use vi
6. any others I've missed that you think are important.
Please mail me your recommendations. Thanks.

#R:mhuxl:-126600:whuxle:22700019:000:592 whuxle!jph Mar 2 20:21:00 1984 The terminal simulator that I wrote (SIMTERM) and a VENTEL modem satisfy your requirements. It provides the capability to run `vi' (or anything using `curses'), can upload/download using XMODEM (for error checking and access to BBSs). The VENTEL will cost you, but SIMTERM is **free** by sending me a self-addressed **STAMPED** return envelop and a floppy. You get the source with it. The software will also automatically dial a list of phone numbers until an answer is received and then `beep' you to say it contacted a BBS.
