At least the DOS folks aren't completely left out. :-} Well, yes, so you "can" but after using something like Procomm or Telix, I wouldn't really want to myself as Pro-YAM's UI is pretty rudimentary (by DOS standards). I've been using Telix for a long time (and have written a lot of scripts for it (so many that I can't really afford to move to something else :-). Right now I run Telix 3.12 on my DOS machines and link to my UNIX machine where Pro-YAM is aliased to rz/sz and can 1) run a UNIX shell, 2) jump to DOS, 3) move stuff between the two with z-modem. [ For those of you who are bit confused, I'm running three hosts: Aegis I on an PC-9801 under NECDOS (my own code), Aegis II on a a 386SX under MS-DOS (waffle), and Aegis IIuu on a 386 under ISC v2.2.1 (waffle). Plus I run MS-DOS on 286 and a Toshiba Dynabook. While only the 9801 and the (Japanese model) Dynabook can display Japanese, all the machines can send/receive Japanese. ] Dave -- Dave McLane
