After having run it, I found that it just seems to be a normal kermit with a flashy user interface. I pulled Mskermit 2.30 from the net a month or so ago and there seems very little that Procomm can do that I can't already do in Mskermit. Why do people pay money for software like Procomm when Mskermit is around? Is there a market for this type of software? If I rewrote (for example) Microemacs with the same functionality would there people who would buy it? I really feel puzzled. Mike Williams

Does mskermit support 8 file transfer protocols? Batch file transfer? 1k block file transfer with 98% thruput? (Kermit has the worse thruput outside of the US Mail) Review (with 2 keystrokes) of 64k worth of your session with string search? Multiple fone list dialer, with hammer dial? I have a dozen comm programs, including kermit2.30 and Procomm 2.4.2. Procomm is the only one I use on my PC's. I wish it was available for the Mac. -- that's the biz, sweetheart.....
