Well, the ad hit the streets a *little* sooner than we expected.  The
"offical" product announcement is still a couple of weeks away. ;-)

PacerTerm is a new product from Pacer Software that will bring terminal
emulation into the '90's.  PacerTerm fully supports the Macintosh
Communications Toolbox so you can use any CTB compatible Terminal, File
Transfer, and Connection tools.  We supply tools for VT320, VT102 and TTY
emulation, LAT, TCP/IP-Telnet, Modem, Serial, and PacerLink connections, and
FTP, Kermit, Xmodem, Zmodem, and PacerLink file transfers (with more to come
at a later date).  It supports multiple simultaneous terminal sessions each
in their own window, scrollback area, user-programmable SoftKeys, and
user-configurable KeyMappings.  If you want to build friendly front-ends
to online services and host applications, use your knowlege of HyperTalk to
script a Macintosh interface.  It's easy, even for those who are not
HyperTalk-fluent, using PacerTerm's built-in script development system with
integral help.  PacerTerm is System 7 compatible, 32-bit clean, and it
supports the required AppleEvents.  Suggested retail price is $249 and it
will be available directly from us or it will be available via your favorite
mail order houses (ie. MacConnection, etc.) real soon.  Expected FCS is
June 1st.  If there are any specific questions, please send email and I'll
be happy to reply.  Thanks for your interest.
