I'm currently writing a comms program for the BBC/Master, which I intend to release (in a cutdown state) as shareware. as well as posting on various bb's in new zealand, I intend to post as a binary on usenet, for widespread dispersal. a full version will be avaliable from me after release for NZ$30 (~UK10pounds). so, a bit about the program.... it's written in full machine code, and will be fully bbc B/master compatible. it uses sideways ram extensively, the more you have the better. * all screen modes available on all machines. * screen scrollback (more if you have more sideways ram) * very complete ansi/VT102 emulation * IBM character set including extended characters * Dialling Directory with repeat dial/dial from marked list etc * Auto Login * Incoming/outgoing serial buffers extended * more powerful file transfer system - Currently Xmodem/Ymodem (and variants, CRC etc), I hope to include PCTrans, Kermit, and Zmodem before final release. note that the Shareware version will probably only support Xmodem. * Fully menu driven + Most usual comms program features (log session to a file, etc). please mail me with any questions/suggestions you have.
