[comp.sys.apple] Looking for a communications program

jfn@quintro.UUCP (John Nagel) (03/28/88)

Hello,

I'm looking for a good terminal emulator/communicatons program for my IIgs.
I will be using this program to connect to our apollo (Unix) system at work 
to upload files that are generated from my word processor program on the IIgs.
I would consider something off of a bbs or net such as this, but I'm not sure 
if I could transfer the program from the apollo system to my IIgs with out some
type of communication code. So I would need it on disk.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.  I can be reached by phone at home
after 5:30cst (217)222-8874, at work (217)223-3211 or by E-mail at 
ihnp4!wucs1!wuibc!quintro!jfn.

Thanks in advance

I downloaded a program called GSVT from GEnie which seems like a pretty
decent VT100 Emulator. It uses the standard GS interface (mouse, pull
down menus etc..) and has file transfer capability. The only problem I had
with it is that it only supports the GS' modem port and I have an AE
DataLinker in slot 2. I'd like to contact the developer and ask for a patch
to accomodate my situation. If you can't download it, let me know and I'll
mail it to you.


				Good Luck
