I have never used Kermit, but I used to use Ascii Express The Professional,
which was version 4.2 I believe. The ProDOS version is only 4.3, and that
was the last ever made, I believe. They will make no more [this is just an
educated guess] because they're into "Ascii Express: MouseTalk" now.

But if you want a VERY good terminal program, get ProTERM, made by Checkmate
Technologies. It is the best terminal program I've ever seen. And it WRITES
MACROS FOR YOU! ProTERM 2.0, which is out now [but I don't have it yet, I'm
using 1.2], supports VT100 and many other emulations.

Transfer protocols abound, too...They support MANY of them, a few more than
AE did. It also supports Kermit protocol so you don't have to use Kermit
anymore.

I suggest you get ProTERM, as it is the best terminal program in existance,
in my opinion. (I used to ABHORE PRODOS, because I hadn't learned it...ProTERM
is what got me OUT of Dos 3.3 and into ProDOS most of the time).

Also, if you are still going to use AE for a while [or anyone else out there
that uses AE], and want to be able to AUTODIAL on a Smartmodem or compatible,
write me a letter and I'll send you a file I wrote on that subject.
