[comp.sys.mac.comm] Modems and Programs ??

chrism@col.hp.com (Chris Magnuson) (08/13/90)

Anybody know of a good program for Mac telecommm using a modem?  Old
versions of Red Ryder are MultiFinder hostile.  Also, I would like to
find a program that does background down/uploads while you're doing 
something more productive using MultiFinder in the foreground.

Any programs meet these needs?

Thanks,
Chris Magnuson

I use zterm and find it a good program.  Not as full featured as some of the
other commercial products.  But it seems to have most everything I need and it
works well in the background.

If you have paid your shareware fees for Red Ryder you may find upgrading to
White Knight might be the best way to go.  I don't know the cost (I haven't
done this myself) but it has got to be cheaper than buying it new.....
