I am trying to find out more information on a communications package, all I know is it is referred to as Yterm; whether this is the full title or not I don't know. I need to know: 1) What is it and what is the programs full name? 2) Where can I purchase or obtain this package? 3) Cost? 4) From experience, Would you recommend something else? Thanks for your time, Please send to raich@stolaf.edu Thomas

YTerm is a terminal communications package sold by Yale Univeristy. It is for communications between PCs and IBM mainframes, though other types of machines work as well. It supports Tektronics graphics, and is generally a very reliable emulator. Cost is minimal, at Queen's it costs CDN $9. In order to use its file transfer capabilities, the mainframe must be running similar software - it does NOT support Kermit or any other type of transfer, just its own. ------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Arnold Gill | | | Queen's University at Kingston | | | BITNET : gilla@qucdn | | | X-400 : Arnold.Gill@QueensU.CA | | | INTERNET : gilla@qucdn.queensu.ca | | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
