I have just recieved ProComm Plus Test Drive from Simtel20, and started
using it last night. All I can say is WOW!! It does everything ProComm 2.4.2
could do, does it better, and does more!!!

The only complaint: The delete key. In 2.4.2, you could define what code the
backspace key sent (DEL, BS, or CHR(127)), but the only choices I've found
from ProComm+ is DESTRUCTIVE/NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and if I try and use it while
online, I get ^H's, which UNIX interprets as a character in the command
line. Anybody have an idea or patch for this??

Thanx in advance.
