Hello, does anyone in netland know of a terminal emulator that runs
under OS/2? One with a file transfer protocol like Xmodem or
Kermit? Failing that, do any of you experts know how to get
COPY COM1: file
to work? I can make writing work:
COPY file COM1:
but not reading. Sigh. I tried:
COPY/A COM1: file
and typed lots of ^Z <CR>s at the other end, but to no avail.
Thanks for any help,

I know of five; there may be others. (1) The communications software included in OS/2 Extended Edition. (2) LogiCOMM (3) HyperACCESS/5 (4) ChipChat (5) Kermit Kermit is available in both Presentation Manager and character versions. ChipChat is also a PM program. LogiCOMM and HyperACCESS/5 are both character based programs. You should be able to find Kermit at some anonymous ftp site. ChipChat and HyperACCESS/5 are commercial packages. I believe the latest version of LogiCOMM is shareware; an earlier version can be found in the SIMTEL20 archive.

There is an OS/2 version of Kermit available via anonymous FTP from Columbia University (alias keepers of the great Kermit flame). I have used it and it works fine. One little hint is that it will not share a COM port with OS/2 Communications Manager. As I have only one COM port I have to re-boot to a version of config.sys that has the establishes the correct COM environment and not run com. mgr. when I want to use Kermit. I assume that you are running SE. In EE (I run 1.2) Communications Manager supports XMODEM in the ASYNC emulators (VT100 and 3101). I don't have Columbia's FTP address handy. Perhaps someone could post or if you e-mail me I can look for it. -- Jim Michael - jim_michael@CSUFresno.EDU My opinions are my own ... what else?

I know of two OS/2 terminal emulators: Cawthorn's ChipChat and Hilgraeves Hyper Access 5. I like the features described in Chip Chat but couldn't afford it. I use and have used HA5 Version 1.1 for OS/2 for about 6 months now. It works very well under full screen and more slowly in a window under standard edition. Under extended edition, it can not find ports 2 and 3. It supports scripting, about 14 different terminal emulations, and about 6 different ?-modems. It also offers direct support of about 20 different modem families. I do have a problem when telneting from my host to another host and when emulating a terminal, I get too many carriage returns. Haven't been able to figure that one out yet. HA5 got best buy notices from a number of magazines. A copy that runs with DOS is provided in the OS/2 pack. Costs a bit over $115 mail order.

It supports most file transfer protocols (Xmodem,Ymodem,Kermit, etc.), and is reasonably cheap ($99 as I recall) -- though not as cheap as freeware. It is not a PM application, but I run it fine in a PM window. For "full flexibility", you should buy Rexx to go with it, but I run this program without any difficulty without Rexx (I can reset defaults, change colors, etc. with no difficulty). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Douglas Baer, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada N6A 5C2 Internet: BAER@UWO.CA Bitnet: BAER@UWOVAX

Telix runs in the OS/2 compatibility box and works like a champ. Supports Zmodem and is available for free from most bbs. ($35 registration fee). Also includes a script compiler. Absolutely the best unadvertised deal around. -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: netcom.uucp
