A week or so ago I posted a query about communications programs for my PC. I received three responses, containing two recommendations of Procomm, and one each of Kermit and Telix. I have purchased Procomm and am initially pretty pleased. It lets you attach a command file to each dial-up number, to handle different protocols on the other end. Thanks for responses from: WLV.IMSD.CONTEL.COM!mcc (Merton Campbell Crockett) who recommended Kermit (available from watsun.cc.columbia.edu in source form; also from simtel20.wsmr.army.mil in an executable form packed im an archive) Bill Fischer <chinet.chi.il.us!wmf> who recommended "PROCOMM, excellent vt100 emulation and I've run it on a variety of platforms with no problem. Very nice, intuitive command structure too" Kees van der Wal <CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU!JC_vdWal%pttrnl.nl> who recommended Procomm plus (testdrive of demo version) and Telix. "They're similar in the user interface but Telix has Zmodem built in (while with PC+ you need DSZ as an external protocol). Both have a large number of up/download protocols (including Kermit)."
