I will try not to repeat the useful information already given by
delong@frith.egr.msu.edu but give some more.  Procomm Plus is not
shareware at all, but a full commercial product, so it should not be
available at any ftp site nor BBS.  And, it is true, that Procomm
does not have, nor is meant to have, full remote capabilities.  The
same goes for Procomm Plus.  Procomm and Procomm Plus are at their
best in calling BBSes.  For remote control of a PC see the
advertisments of commercial programs eg in the PC Maganize.  And
perhaps someone here will have information on a shareware option?
