In the latest issue of the Info-IBMPC Digest (vol. 3 issue 38) seomeone gave a good revieew 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) Earlioer 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.
