I just picked up a communications package from one of the local BBSs here in Research Triangle Park, NC. It's called PROCOMM, a freeware package by PIL software systems. This program is probably the best one I've seen at *any* price for MS-DOS. It's fully as good as MEX on CP/M. It supports both xmodem, and kermit protocals, terminal emulation, keyboard macros, and scripts. Its rather large, so I won't post it on the net unless there is enough interest. I will however put it on my BBS. The reason I mentioned it is that it supports a env variable called PROCOMM which contains the path for the parameter files, it searches this if it doesn't find them on the current directory. Highly recommended. -- Jay Denebeim "One world, one egg, one basket." {seismo,decvax,ihnp4}!mcnc!rti-sel!ethos!jay Deep Thought, ZNode #42 300/1200/2400 919-471-6436
