Thanks Doug, I'll have to check out the capabilities of those commercial
packages. Does anyone know the name of any suitable PD ones?

Yes, I'm aware of what CTTY does. I am interested in command level access and
file server access even while other applications are running on the PC (using

been answered to cover this angle in the current discussion of PC-Unix Comms
(maybe I missed a few articles).
