Does anyone have experience with this soft-ware. I've been advised to purchase it (to set up a 'point' for a BBS) but I'd like some user comments first. Thanks

This is not meant to be rude, just trying to point you in the right direction so you can get more help. Anyway, I personally have never ever ever seen a good communications program or BBS program for the Mac! Red Ryder sucks (I think that's both a BBS and a communications program?!) PhoneTerm or somesuch sucks.. Nothing is anywhere near as good as ProTERM on the Apple II Or even as good as Ascii Express on the Apple II!! -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever!

I like it as well as ProTerm and use it on my Mac (one of them) at work. As far as Apple II term programs go, ProTerm is hard to beat unless you want the protocols to work correctly -- but for scrollback and ease of handling large amounts of text, it works well. andy -- Andy Nicholas GEnie & America-Online: shrinkit Apple IIGS System Software CompuServe: 70771,2615 Apple Computer, Inc.
