Some time ago there were queries about software error correction in modem connections. Recently I came upon such a program from MagicSoft Inc. The Program is called MTE, and it is an MNP5 terminal emulator. The latest version I have seen in bulletin boards is 2.10g distributed as mte215.zip. It seems a very useful program for users without an error correcting modem, and I would put it for general download here at chyde.uwasa.fi, but I have very serious doubts about it being shareware. There are no shareware notices included, and no documentation, either. It you have any relevant information, please let me (and the net know) by posting. I do not want commercial software distributed, and I would like to make sure one way or the other. ...................................................................

MTE is commercial. It is not shareware. The only version that has ever
been shareware is a two-year-old severely crippled demo (no file down-
loading, MNP only through level 4, autodisconnect after ten minutes) that
is of no real use to anyone.
I called the company that distributes it when it surfaced on some BBSs
several months ago and they confirmed that it should not be posted to
any BBSs, archives, or anywhere else.

Yes, MTE is commercial software. It is *not* shareware. There is a ten-minute demo running around that is legitimate, but it sounds like that is not what you have.
