Hello, our group is getting ready to have a bunch of wonderful new computer
equipment delivered and we need to talk communications software.  Mostly
we're going to be using email, but as a backup we need to be able to 
communicate via modem.  We're going to have SE/30's which will need to be 
able to talk to both Vax's and Unix machines.  I looked in the Macintosh
Bible under communication packages and see that the programs listed are
Red Ryder (now White Knight), Microphone I and II, TermWorks and FModem.
From the text in the book I get the feeling that RR/WK comes out on top
as far as perfomance/$$.  Has this changed recently and if so what is the
best program to get?  Please email to mudpit@lamont.ldgo.columbia.edu with
your reply.  Thanks for the help!
