Stop right there.  Procomm 2.4.2, which is the latest as far as I know,
is shareware, not public domain.  Public domain means not copyrighted. 
Shareware is copyrighted, and anybody is allowed to give copies to
others to try out for a reasonable time, but if you continue to use it
you are required to pay for it.

Since I'm still trying out Procomm 2.4.2, and haven't paid for it yet,
I would be interested in knowing whether there is really a version I
wouldn't have to pay for.  So far my alternatives to Procomm 2.4.2 are
versions of Qmodem and Telix that cost even more to register, but it's
all a matter of price/performance ratio!
