Ok, _I_ think HandShake is the best terminal program available in the
sharware community. I have a friend who thinks OnLine is God. Would
a few of you kind folks explain to him the differece between a crap
program (ala Online) and a quality piece like HandShake. To fire up your
flamers a little, here's a message I just received from him today,
vebatim. Just mail me a little tid-bit (or tirad!) about how he's out
of his mind (because he doesn't really believe me, I just think he may
not know how to use the program) on thinking that Online stacks up better
then HandShake in the telecommunication sector of Amiga programs. Turn
it UP! Thanks.

No offense but I haven't seen anything as POOR as handshake in a long time.
Its got to be the slowest thing available, and to top it off, doesn't even
let you have a chance to tell it where you want a downloaded file to go.
With zmodem running, it will receive the file, but it won't save it anywhere!
It won't even give you the option to save it anywhere, it just goes happily
away receiving to absolutely no place.  It takes it forever to hangup the phone
too, as well as dial it.  I've got to get another program to replave this POS.
I think I might even use ON-Line over this one (if it worked on the 3000
).  And thats a scarry thought!  Anyway, got any clues how to tell this 
thing to save the file its receiving, after all thats kinda important.
