[net.micro.pc] Communications subroutine for DOS?

fox.vpi%Rand-Relay@sri-unix.UUCP (02/06/84)

From:  Ed Fox <fox.vpi@Rand-Relay>

Is there a relatively small subroutine available (or something using
interrupts) that a DOS 2.10 C program can call to:
1)choose and logon to a machine, using direct LAN connection or autodialing
2)send ascii messages
3)receive and store ascii messages

The program must also communicate with a user via keyboard and monitor.
My interest is in a reliable package that is easy to use and won't take
too much memory, and is callable by C.  YTERM has been mentioned - is
that suitable?

Also of interest would be B-tree or indexed file support routines
to be called from C program.

Thanks for the help! - Ed Fox (fox.vpi@rand-relay)
