I would recommend Telemate. Here's why: Telemate is a full featured, flexible communications program with an easy-to-learn-and-use integrated environment. With Telemate, you don't need to use a separate editor, viewer and mouse driver to make smooth communication. All these features are built into Telemate, and they are accessible through menus and windows. Telemate has multitasking features built in. While you are dialing or downloading, you can prepare messages, view files, scroll back to the last connection. Or you can have all of them at the same time; each clearly runs in its own window. The editor allows you to prepare your messages, edit documents or type letters. And the viewer can display files as references without influencing the editor. The very large back scroll buffer works just like an editor, you can save parts of the contents to files, find text, and even quote a message by pressing a few keys. Through the clipboard you can cut and paste text among windows. You can prepare a message in the editor and then copy and paste it to the terminal. Telemate has most of the popular protocols built-in, including Zmodem and CompuserveQuickB. There are also four slots for external protocols. Writing a Telemate script is as simple as writing a BASIC program. If you don't have any experience with writing scripts, you can use the "learn script" feature. Without any additional hardware, Telemate lets you select a screen height from 25 to 32 lines on your normal CGA adapter and seven choices of screen height on an EGA or VGA adapter. Telemate uses expanded memory, extended memory and EGA/VGA video RAM as virtual memory to store data. Requires 480K RAM Costs $40 Telemate can be purchased from: Mr. Tsung Hu Box 938, Unit 105 St. Catherines Ontario L2R 6Z4 Canada Or purchased from PC-SIG: Disks 2341,2342,2343 Or downloaded by anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20 from the directory PD: TM211-1.ZIP "TeleMate background comm w/editor v2.11, 1of3" TM211-2.ZIP "TeleMate background comm w/editor v2.11, 2of3" TM211-3.ZIP "TeleMate background comm w/editor v2.11, 3of3"
