Does anyone know of a good public domain communications program for an Apple IIe (DOS or ProDOS) that uses XMODEM protocol and will work with a Microcom ERA 2 1200 baud modem (an internal modem card which emulates an Apple Super Serial card and a fully Hayes compatable modem). It came bundled with a program that uses the MNP protocol which doesn't seem to be overly popular. I don't need a lot of fancy extras (word processor, terminal emulation) just something I can use to download from some BBS's. I'm not against buying a communications package, but right now I can't spare the bucks. Well maybe a few if anyone knows of an inexpensive (around $30 or less) communications program. If you can be of any help, please reply to this forum or to RANKINS@DOCKMASTER.ARPA. Thanks in advance, Ray

Ray, I believe you want something like TALK IS CHEAP Version 1.16 by Donald R. Elton of Carolina System Software; you can contact him thru Morgan Davis - try mdavis@pro-sol.UUCP for an address. It's shareware - but you can try it out, see if you like it and send Don $30 for the latest manual and update if you like it. -- Patt Haring UUCP: ..cmc12!phri!dasys1!patth Big Electric Cat Compu$erve: 76566,2510 New York, NY, USA MCI Mail: 306-1255; GEnie: PATT
