Hello you netters out there!
I am need of a "good" communications program for file transfers
from BBS's and our mainframe. It needs VT100 emulation too.
Any suggestions for the "best" programs would be appreciated!
Any kind, either freeware/shareware or "real" you go to store and
buy kind of progs. I've heard White Knight is great. I've tried
Zterm, but it crashes frequently on my Mac IIfx. Any help?
Thanks in advance.
Rob

MicroPhone II is an excellent telecommunications package with one of the best VT100 emulations out there. It's real strength is the scripting and automation capabilities. Trust me I work for the company that makes it ;-) Anyway, its a top notch package. It's priced at $295, but looks like you are at a university, so you can purchase it DIRECT from Software Ventures at an excellent EDUCATIONAL DISCOUNT. For full time members (faculty, students and staff) of any accredited academic institutions in the United States, MicroPhone II is available according to the following price structure: Units Cost per unit 1-4 $85 + shipping (6 lbs, UPS ground) 5 + $65 + shipping (6 lbs, UPS ground) Typically, individuals purchase direct 1 or two units. Campus bookstores buy 5 or more and resell them. Sometime someone can explain why ANYONE would buy 4 at $85 instead of 5 at $65! (Belive me, they do!) Anyway, if you need more info, or want to place an order contact me. Tom Voltz Academic Sales Software Venutures 415-644-3232 thomas@well.sf.ca.us
