I want to communicate between my 386i and a mainframe over RS-232. Does anyone know of a good terminal emulator that I can use instead of tip? I have alot of experience in the MS-DOS world, where there are many such products, far better than tip. On the MS-DOS side of the 386i, even under 4.0.1 serial port communication is hopeless. When trying to transfer files this way, I feel lucky if the system doesn't crash. It usually just freezes up in mid-transfer. Using tip, I get much higher speed in terminal emulation, but file transfers don't work. To transfer a binary file, I uuencode first and download - but tip always loses part of the file. What I would really like is a program with: - protected file transfers, binary and text - scripts. Bob Renninger AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill, NJ 201 582-4122 mhuxo!rgr

Are you trying to connect to a Unix mainframe? If so, SLIP would work well for you at 19.2. You could run FTP and rlogin at the same time. I've tried it, it works.
