Help from the net-folk, if you please:
I am in dire straits, and I hope that someone can help. I have an IBM-XT,
and I would like a public domain communications program that can perform both
KERMIT and XMODEM up/downloads, and can emulate a terminal that *works* with
*all* UNIX programs. (vi, for instance.) Things I have tried:
KERMIT --> Works fine, except there is no XMODEM protocol
PROCOMM --> Terrific user interface and menu systems. Also
performs great up/downloads, but the emulations
are pretty awful. Try using it with vi sometime,
its amusing. (Yes, I have version 2.20)
PIBTERM --> Pretty icky user interface, but other than that
it is the same as PROCOMM. (Good transfers, but
none of the emulators work properly.)
Anyone out there have any other suggestions? Please email or post responses. If
there is any interest, I will summarize for people....
Thanks in advance....

It does a good job of emulating a DEC vt100. The interface is not as slick as Procomm, but the terminal emulation works, and it supports XMODEM (which I've used) and KERMIT (which I have not used). Bob Beveridge Benetics Corp. p.s.: I keep hearing about what a great program Procomm is; I'm glad that someone else has noticed that NONE of the terminal emulations seem to work....

This is just an aside folks. If you want to find out just how good a job of vt100 emulation a particular program does, just use it to call the Digital on-line order number. (1-800-DEC-DEMO). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A.Kacker UUCP : {allegra|seismo|decvax}!rochester!ur-tut!akk2 BITNET : HNUC@UORVM =========================================================================
