I am now stop logon under Spectre Macintosh mode but using the program called PC INTERCOM. It is quite an old pro gram but allowing me to config Atari function key to put in my Account No, Pass word, and other command wich saving a lot of time than keying them in every time. Only drawback is that this program does not have PCTRANS file transfer protocol. It got kermit though. I use Kermit to tranfer all Atari files to my computer. As for the Mac program I will log on with PC Intercom and set every thing ready for file transfer then quit PC Intercom while still online. Switch to Spectre and run TINCAN to download Mac program with PCTRANS protocol. It save time from using Transverter to convert to MFS format. I can just BINHEX it and unstuff. I also have not try to config PF key for the RedRyder but seems that many netters are using this Program. Suthipuntha, School of Architecture Nat. Univ. of Singaapore
