Try STalker. VT52/ansi emulation, ascii and x/ymodem up/downloads, great autodialer, a host of nice features, and it works perfectly in the background with your favorite GEM application. I haven't used anything but for ages. STalker is distributed by: Strata Software 94 Rowe Drive Kanata, Ontario K2L 3Y9 (613) 591-1922 I think it sells for about $35.

I can think of one: WTERM . There are at least two programs called WTERM, and one of them is an accessory available from the ftp site called "terminator", in the directory "telecomm": -rw-r--r-- 1 46592 Apr 12 02:18 wterm.arc The distinction of WTERM is that it runs in a window. -- L.

MiniTerm 9.32 seems to do the job. It has very good vt100 emulation, allows for x/y/zmodem uploads and downloads, cursor positioning with the mouse, function key assign- ment, dialing menu and the configuration is performed by use of an editable resource file. I have used this program in conjunction with the MULTRAN background downloader and it makes for an excellent combo. Just pop up to MiniTerm, start the download, then exit and invoke MULTRAN to download and continue with what you were doing while it downloads. It has a couple dis- advantages though: you must have a zmodem program to perform zmodem transfers and it does not run in a window; it just takes over the screen. I think you can get this one from GEnie or FTP, but I can't quite remember where I got it from - my brain is toast. -- / Craig Pratt BitNet: Craig.Pratt@msu3.oscs.montana.edu \ | Montana State University, Bozeman MT GEnie C.PRATT4 | >----------------------------------------------------------------------------< \ " There's a lot to be said for a blow to the head.
