Pcomm is GREAT for that, BUT it doesn't offer the TERMINAL EMULATION
(ie vt100) that the async_main program does.  If it did, that would
make it all the BETTER!  I wrote Emmet about this and never got a 
response, so I assume he isn't really that interested in implementing
it.  Has anyone else out there more ideas for this or changed pcomm to
their liking successfully? (not that there's much to change!)  I'd 
really like to hear some comments on this.  How difficult WOULD it be
to implement TERMINAL EMULATION like vt100?

Thanks in advance,

Forrie
