I am working on a summary on this topic for next week. So far I
haven't had much feedback from Telix or Procomm users. I have been
archiving the news postings and mail that I have received on this
subject and am scanning Fidonet and Eggnet communication newsgroups, 
as well.

For some reason, kermit users have been the most responsive... I
didn't realize so many were still out there. I'll have to look into
the new kermit that just came out with vt 340 emulation. For those of
you interested in trying something new, Telemate 2.00 is out... It
offers builtin mouse support, autodownload zmodem, ansi/vt102/vt52
emulation, background file transfers (at least you can edit and view
files, I am going to try and shellout while downloading tonight), ansi
music, script language, etc... It has hung my system a few times
already though...

Keep sending or posting your replies!
