I use "mterm". The source is posted on MWCBBS. It uses /dev/console for its
interface, and therefore supports "vt100" emulation. It isn't great, but it
is tiny. I had to make a few patches to it to make it work (like /dev/com1
change to /dev/com1r).
Has anyone else experience with "mterm" or "xcmalt" or yet other alternatives?
("xcmalt" is also on MWCBBS, but I've not been able to get it working
although it compiles fine; haven't had time to read the manual which probably
has the answers;-)
Thanks,

The one I use on a daily basis is xcomm (I can't remember where I got it, probably on mwcbbs..). It works fine, supports dialing directories, has a (small but nice) script language. It sometimes "hangs", but I understand that Coherent's serial port driver is the one to blame in this case. BTW, has anybody tried to port PCOMM to Coherent ?

would somebody please put mterm and xcmalt on piggy? thanks. -- Excerpt from conversation between customer support person and customer working for a well-known military-affiliated research lab: Support: "You're not our only customer, you know."

XCMALT from MWCBBS is a version on the base of XCOMM. I think that that is the program Cedric talks about.

The only glitch is that I only have the binaries (and limited docs..). If there was a definite policy about posting binaries or sources for Coherent, this wouldn't be a problem, but I understand no solution suits everybody, and we should wait a while before RFD'ing on comp.os.coherent.sources (or anything you wish to call it)......well, should we ?
