Can anyone tell me if anything like the following is available: (I'm looking for shareware or public domain here...) 1) A telecommunications program that: a) interfaces well with vga (ie can support 50 or so lines, other cutsies) b) has zmodem protocol c) has some type of script language (like procomm) 2) A tar program for the IBM Looked at the good ftp sites, and haven't seen either or these...

The author asks $39 for Telix after a 45 day evaluation period. Telix supports ZModem internally, which means you can (optionally) have Telix automatically initiate the ZModem protocol when the remote system begins sending a file. The script language looks a lot like C, and is compiled into a tokenized form. The language is powerful enough that BBS systems have been written in it. I've used Telix for quite some time. It handles high speed lines, e.g., 19,200 bps into a port selector, very well. If your system has a 16550 UART, Telix will detect it and enable the 16550's internal buffers. >2) A tar program for the IBM > >Looked at the good ftp sites, and haven't seen either or these...

Thanks to all who responded. I got a copy of Telix, and of Pdtar and they both look quite nice. Shannon

It pretty much handles any screen output you want. Some caveats: 1. Command line interface (you have to make menus) 2. Somewhat complicated (User Hostile?) Some Plusses: 1. Very very very powerful 2. Turbo learn program will write virtually perfect logon scripts. 3. Very extensive scripting--flexible I've been using it for a year or so and still find new stuff. Try it. Zcomm is Shareware. PRO-YAM (its big brother) is commercial. Email me (netcom!mendi@apple.com) or whatever is in header for more details. GRM
