While discussing Procomm+ vs Telix someone kindly suggested that in include some information on thelemate in my FAQ. Well, here goes: There are other very good telecommunication and terminal emulation programs besides Procomm+, Telix, and MsKermit. One of them is TeleMate (/pc/comm/tm211-1.zip, tm211-2.zip, and tm211-3.zip). It's speciality is that the file transfers can take place in the background, which, for example, allows you to use TeleMate's useful screen editor while the transfer is taking place. Another nice feature is TeleMate's quote function. On the other hand TeleMate's dialog box based user interface takes some getting used to, and in this respect I feel that Procomm+ and Telix have a clear advantage over TeleMate. Also TeleMate's online help screen is not very coherent, and there is some incovenience in figuring out how to load the translation tables on a regular basis. ...................................................................
