My recommendation is either Mirror III (pretty much a clone of Crosstalk, but actually more flexible) or Procomm Plus. Mirror is a product of Softklone, and is available for less than $100 US. Mirror allows remote dial-ins to a shell and allows custom functions to be set up with a very powerful scripting language, Prism. Prism comes very colse to allowing you to set up a complete BBS system, if you want. Mirror also has a host-based MNP error correction product that I like very much. The MNP product is sold as an add-in program to work with the basic Mirror III package. Procomm Plus started life has a share-ware product, but is now available commercially. Procomm is very easy to set up and use and and has quite colorful menus. As with Mirror, Procomm allows remote access to DOS shells via modem dial in. Procomm also offers a relatively easy to use scripting language, but with less power than Mirror's Prism. Procomm also sells for well under $100 US. ==Bill== -- Bill Mayhew Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine Rootstown, OH 44272-9995 USA phone: 216-325-2511 wtm@uhura.neoucom.edu ....!uunet!aablue!neoucom!wtm
