Procomm Plus is a commercial product, but you can get Procomm on the
net. At uwasa.fi archives see the following files in the /pc/pd2
directory.
  prcm243.zip     Procomm shareware version 2.4.3
  prcm243d.zip    Procomm document
  prcm243u.zip Procomm utilities (also see /pc/ts/tspfon29.arc) 
I recommend that you also take a look at Telix.  Same directory. 
Both are good products.

               An extract from /pc/ts/tsfaq15.arc:
2. *****
 Q: Why "(Please) reply by email, I don't usually read this group"
(actually a demand rather than a question) gets flamed?

 A: This is basically an impolite way of formulating such a request.
If one is interested enough to post to a group, one should also be
prepared to follow up the group.
   Intended or not, the attitude this (email-I-don't-read) decree
easily conveys is "I don't usually care for this wimpy group, but
this time you are allowed to be of service to my exalted person".
What you should do, if following the group is genuinely problematic
for you (for cost or other reasons), is to offer to make a summary
of the replies. The liturgy often used for this is "Please reply by
email. If there is sufficient interest, I'll summarize". (This
alternative is often advocated also because it is supposed to cut
down the traffic). You might even state why following a group is
problematic for you, but this is up to you.
