Hughes has written MITE which I am using now; this is marketed by MYCROFT Labs of Talahassee Fla. and is very easy to use. It uses mostly any protocols you like, has a lot of terminal types in the init, and transfers binary files even though the other end doesn't have the same link program that you have. If you are contemplating buying crosstalk, I urge you look at MITE first.
