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....

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).

I too had problems with the terminal emulation with Procomm 2.2, but their 2.3 version seems to work quite a bit better. It's been out more than a month or so, and should have made it to a local public bbs or user group by now.

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.
