Net Folks, here's my idea: The PeeCee folks have a new terminal program called MTE. What's special about it is that it gives *normal* 2400 baud modem owners Class 5 MNP error-correction! A friend with a Supra 2400 running the registered version of MTE gets about 4800 BPS throughput! What I was wondering is anybody considering making something similar for the Amiga? If so, let me make a suggestion: Put your code all in the Serial.Device where that *EVERY* terminal program can take advantage of it! Wouldn't it be great to boot up Jrcomm on a non-MNP modem, with a SerialMNP.Device, and double your throughput! Come on programmers, this shouldn't be hard? Anything that can be done on a PC can be done on an Amiga! (only better :-) :-) PS. BTW, I got the idea for doing such a project this way after hearing that someone had made a IBM<->Amiga disk transfer program the way Dos 2 Dos should have done it in the first place. CrossDos is great, and I'll probably be sending off for the real version soon...

If so, let me make a suggestion: Put your code all in the Class 5 compression is nice on ASCII files, but it actually *SLOWS DOWN* when transferring compressed or binary files... Slows down as in slower than without it! just my $.02... $.17 with inflation. ------------------------------------------------------ Quantum _\/_ 545 Sycamore CellBlock 207 Bruce (6502 RULES!)
