[net.micro] async comm packages for the PC

micom@houxf.UUCP (D.SYKORA) (02/17/84)

I am looking for information on asynchronous communications packages
for the IBM and other PC's.  The Holmdel Computer Center wants to do a 
survey on what types of packages work well with UNIX and other hosts.
The program must emulate a particular terminal so that it can be used
with full screen type programs.  The most important questions are 
does it support XON/XOFF in both directions, is there a reliable file 
transfer capability and is it generally as good as the terminal it
replaced?  Any particulars about what is good or bad about the program
would be appreciated.  I will summarize responses and post to the net.
Thanks in advance.
