One of the first OS's taught to me by my Apple II mentor (Richard C. Crossley)
was cp/m on a Corvus LAN. The only terminal program we had available that
could provide high speed encrpyted data transmissions back and forth between
the different offices was a cp/m product produced by Hawkeye Grafix, 23914
Mobile, Canoga Park, Ca. 91307 (213/348-7909).

This product was called Commx and featured both a terminal program and a host
program called Consolx. The manual I have is copyrighted 1984 and since I no
longer use cp/m I have not bothered to inquire about updates or whether or not
the company is still in business.

I hope this helps.
