Zcomm is another powerful modem program which I would not recommend for
the novice but still think is worth mentioning. It is written by Chuck
Forsberg who is the author of ZMODEM and YMODEM protocols. This program
has VT100, ZMODEM,YMODEM,WXMODEM, Super-Kermit and a program that will
actually learn your sign on routine and write a script for you. It should
be available on any BBS that includes ZMODEM as an option. If you can't
find a board that has it, call the BBS which I SYSOP Audio Projects BBS
at 608-836-WIRE  9600,2400,1200,300 24hrs.  I am in no way associated
with Chuck Forsberg or Omen Tech. I just admire his program.
