[comp.sys.apple] Talk is Cheap

buyse@convexe.UUCP (03/09/88)

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.

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
