Has anyone experience with them >or this product? We bought TCPack and use it together with VersaTerm on top of TCP/IP. However it dosn't support multi session/multi window, since VersaTerm never heard about that :-(. In fact, TCPack is a Connection Tool for the Communications Toolbox, which sits by itself on top of MacTCP. (You get MacTCP when you buy TCPack). You can even set up an FTP connection. The first version we got last summer didn't work too well together with VersaTerm, but as I heard the problems were mainly due to the CTB and VersaTerm. This is now fixed and the newest version is stable. The same company wrote a nice Terminal Tool for the CTB, providing IBM 3270 emulation. It's called asc3270 and even knows about national character sets and has a fully configurable keyboard mapping (nice to have for people in Europe). -- =============================================================================== Thomas Lenggenhager, SWITCH, ETH-Zentrum, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland INET: lenggenhager@switch.ch | Tel: +41-1-261 8178 UUCP: ..!mcsun!chx400!lenggenhager | Fax: +41-1-261 8133
