I cant as for TERM but I do have most of the other so-called advanced comm packages and none of them com close as to the granularity of control that PRO-YAM offers and that a data-com test engineer needs!!! The product really is of such extreme quality that it can regularly be used as a vehicle for writing software QA programs(the mode I regularly use it in as a consultant). It also has a number of UNIQUE security features.. that can be used within its scripts to really tailor it to a number of REAL-WORLD environments...I will admit it is not for everyone...if you havent learned to RTFM then you will have wasted your money.... cheers kelly(A Highly Satisfied User)
