Spend the money and buy Crosstalk. Supports Kermit (have used), XMODEM
(have not used), and emulates a number of terminals. I emulate a VT-100
on a DEC-20 to do Emacs and spreadsheets, and a TVI-920 to emulate a
3270 (I'm going through a protocol converter) to do work on an Amdahl.
You can run other programs from within Crosstalk (like your editor, if
you have enough memory). Also, Microstuf's technical support people, when
their phone isn't busy, are quite helpful. I've used a version of
Procomm, and didn't seem to find a "script" facility like Crosstalk's
for automating logins. Is there a version that supports such
a facility?
