We have modified code for pcomm on turnkey, it was extensively modified by
Sandy Zelkovitz (sandy@turnkey.TCC.COM - infamous author of XBBS :-) and it
does run. I have not had occassion to put it to real use but reports from
another local site running the code indicates it still has some problems.
(Those interested in details should contact root@conexch.TCC.COM.) However
the code is basically operational. Anyone interested can uucp it from
turnkey; the file is in the public directory called pcomm.tar.Z. We have an
anonymous unpassworded uucp login: nuucp. The phone number is 714-662-7450.
As Phillip noted, this is a really nice program, in fact its emulation of
Procomm is nothing short of amazing!

						Have fun all,
