Does anyone know of a good communications program that is FULLY MSWINDOWS compatible ? It should have at least ANSI/VT100 emulation (Tek 401X graphics emulation would be a real plus), [XYZ]MODEM and KERMIT protocols and be able to fully operate multitasking and sustain at least 2400baud up/downloads as a background task/window. I know that standard apps PROCOMM, PC/INTERCOMM and probably KERMIT will work with WINDOWS 386, but I don't think they can hack the background I/O requirements. Too bad that MSWINDOWS TERMINAL is so lame. I do know of a method for using TERMINAL in conjunction with the DSZ (ZMODEM) comm program to more or less get the job done, background downloads and all, but isn't there a better way ? Please reply by email. Thanks. Cheers, Dan Ts'o 212-570-7671 Dept.

inTalk by Palantir Software is an excellent communications program that is also a TRUE Windows application. It supports emulation of 8 different terminals (including VT-100), text and binary file transfers (Xmodem supported), and a fairly sophisticated communications script language. It allows the user to modify just about every communications setting; it supports speeds up to 9600 baud. I've found the program to be very reliable, though screen updates can sometimes be slow at high baud rates. Hope this helps.

I believe that it works under Windows 2 now, supports vt100/ansi and a number of good (ie, beyond Xmodem) transfer protocols.

Well, on my 10 MHz V-20 IBM XT clone, I was able to run Procomm Plus v1.1A under MS-Windows 2.03 and do downloads in background at 2400 baud. This did slow down my system quite a bit, but it did work fine. If your system is a faster machine, like a AT or 386 machine, then 2400 baud should be no problem. Note: I used the ProComm Plus protocols (Ymodem Batch I think), but you can also use DSZ with MS-Windows fine. If you want a Windows-specific application, then Proteus is supposed to be pretty decent, but I don't have it and can't give any more information right now. If I find an address, I will E-Mail it to you. -- Erik Talvola | "The soul I took from you c60c-4au@web.berkeley.edu | was not even missed..." erikt@zen.berkeley.edu (currently down...) | Black Sabbath

This directory is NOT avalible through the archive-server... Rob rob@sun.soe.clarkson.edu (the from line might be messed up.)

Good old Crosstalk XVI works fine in an MS Window. In fact I am reading
news and writing this reply in an MS Window right now.
