I Find this talk of procomm and all interesting. I plan to switch to Zmodem (I use Xtalk) very soon. MY BIG QUESTION IS::: What terminal emulator will allow me to use the Alt key. I use emacs as much as possible but I haven't found out yet how to use the Alt keys on my AT clone at home. Will any of these animals (Zmodem Ymodem Xtalk Procomm ...) allow me to use the alt keys and emulat some terminal unix knows about?? Thanks!

MS-Kermit 2.31 -- I have written a script for kermit that sets it up so that "ALT" behaves like "META" in Emacs. It's neat. I'll email it to anyone on request. It also binds all the other keys like the cursors etc. to do reasonable things. >P.S. I hate Kermit. (Just My Opinion) Oh well.

Procomm, Telix and a lot of other communicationprograms experience a clash of keys when you use them in a Unix-environment because they need them for the dialing directory, redialing, host mode, ... The only communicationprogram I know of that let you use most of the Alt combinations is AT100 (a vt100 emulationprogram for the IBM PC and compatibles by AmbraSoft) but AT100 on the other hand don't have a dialing directory or anything like it! There shouldn't be any problems using an external Zmodem program (like DSZ) with AT100.
