TIC (Talk is Cheap) is now in version 2.05 (last I heard -- and may have moved
on from there), and is now commercial -- no longer shareware as it was
before...

I agree that ProTERM is a pretty good program...  it's what I use, and I've
found it more flexible, powerful, and easy to use than any other comm program
I've tried...

Kermit does have two distinct advantages over ProTERM, however -- it's not a
commercial program (I think it's freeware/PD, but I forget since it's been so
long since I looked at it), and it's made to work VERY well with file
transfers with mainframes, et al.  It doesn't have the range of luxurious
features that ProTERM does, but <shrug>  that's why ProTERM is commercial!
