If VersaTerm is not using the Communications Toolbox, then what are
the tools that they are enclosing with the package that are placed in
the Extensions folder (under System 7.0), including Serial Tool, Modem
tool, Telnet tool, LAT tool, ADSP tool (for localtalk connections).
There are also File Transfer Tools, including a FTP Tool. Remember, I
specifically said VersaTerm 4.5, not version 4.1.1 which did not
support any of this.
