I would like to know if anyone on the net has used or seen a shareware telecommunications program called "Talk is Cheap". What I would like to know are your general impressions, its ease of use, it sophistication, its features, and the configurations with which it works. Particularly, does it do terminal emulations? File transfers? What protocols? Does it have a buffer? What size? Is it a scrollback buffer? What size is this program? Who authored this program? Any and all information would be appreciated. Either post here or mail the information to me. Thanks. -Russell Buyse. UUCP: {allegra,ihnp4,uiucdcs,ctvax}!convex!buyse

TIC is written by Donald Elton. The current incarnation does emulate terminals up to VT52. It accepts Xmodem protocol, as well as text, has macros, and does automatic BNY unpacking. It has a decent sized text buffer, I'm not sure how big it is though. I think it is 50 prodos blocks in it's latest incarnation. I can give you Dr. Eltons internet address if you want more information Dan Harkayv Dan Harkavy v066edd9@ubvms.bitnet
