Make me an offer, OXXI? A-Talk Plus is a 2 & 1/2 years old program, completely superseded by A-Talk III. A-Talk Plus was published by Felsina Software. A-Talk III is published by Oxxi. Inc. They've had a very cheap upgrade path from AT+ tp AT-/// since day one. Call Oxxi at (213)427-1227 for the details. >Anyway, although it's missing AREXX and a couple of new protocols >that I wouldn't use (I use kermit to all my UNIX and OS-9/68000 hosts), A-Talk III was the first commercial comm program to add Arexx support way back in late 1988. It now supports every possible protocol, either internally (X, Y, Y-batch, Y-g, WX, Z modem, kermit) and external XPR protocols (X/Z modem, Kermit, CIS Bplus). >I like the A-Talk interface, it's quite fast, does an excellent VT100 >and Tektronix 4014 emulation, and came with termcap and terminfo files. >What I would like is a 38,400 baud rate, though, and maybe a VT240 >emulation. A-Talk III can send up at speeds up to 57.6K. receive at speeds up to 38K, with hardware handshake. >Given that, I'd recommend A-Talk III to a new buyer. Thanks. -- Marco
