[micro.ibm] crosstalk-16

john@ecsvax.UUCP (04/05/84)

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.
