- I like HyperAccess/5 (commercial). There's also TalkThru (Software
- Corp. of America), ChipChat (Cawthon Software), REXXTerm (Quercus),
- Dynacomm Asynchronous (FutureSoft), and perhaps some others.
-
- On the shareware side, there's no one standout. Some like PMComm.
- Others like TE/2. Others prefer C-Kermit (perhaps with M2Zmodem, the
- external Zmodem protocol).
