Another outstanding package is QMODEM SST which is shareware, at about the
same price as PROCOMM, with most of the same features.  It includes scripts,
the ability to add homegrown file transfer protocols, XMODEM, YMODEM, KERMIT,
SEALINK, ETC.  It also recognizes ansi screen, music & color control sequences.
It includes VT100, TVI925, ANSI and TTY terminal emulation.  It is available
on many BBS systems as QMODEM 3.0 or QMODEM SST, or directly from the Forbin
Project BBS at (319)233-6157.  The requested contribution entitles you to an
official copy on diskettes, user manual, upgrades and telephone support on 
their voice line at (319) 232-4516.  
  
NOTE:  Beware of a BETA TEST version 3.0 on some BBS's which was buggy and
       will not work on most clones.  Also note the numbers above are correct
       rather than what comes with the early releases.  Their telephone numbers
       changed recently.
  
I have no affiliation with the Forbin Project, but am a satisfied customer.
