I have to agree with the earlier posting.  Access // is nowhere near the same
level as most other terminal programs.  My copy of Access // doesn't always
talk to my modem properly, although other terminal programs don't seem to have
the same problem.  Pulldown menus are nice for novice users, but after a while
they become slow and tedious.  When you choose to escape the emulator and
use an Access command you lose any text you had on the screen.  Access does not
repaint the screen when you go back to the terminal emulation mode.  I think
you can get far more for the money trying some other product.  Ascii Express
seems to be a favorite with most people.
