Of course, some features may be unnecessary - e.g. a 'vt100' emulation *and* a 'vt102' emulation, although vt100 is a subset of vt102. > NComm, I'd ahve to say (and do say) that NComm is the better of the > two...scripts...all the protocols you would want (no ASCII or Punter...what a > loss) I think, you've never tried Z-Modem protocol (Ncomm's XPR -vs- JRcomm's internal) with a USR HST oder USR V.32bis modem.

You must have a 300 bps modem :-) :-) :-) I recommend to test both programs with 9600 bps or more. (JRcomm seems to use graphics.library directly while Ncomm is just hanging around with the "slow-speed" console.device) Unfortunately Ncomm's ANSI/VT100/VT102-Emulation (all in one, good idea) is not this, what I call good (or perfect), although we send a list of vt102 codes to the author ('cause he hasn't had one), he wasn't able to implement the missing features :-( JRcomm's is not perfect, too - but it's fairly well.
