- Hi, I'm a PC person trying to help a Powerbook (160) owner here
- get connected via her interal fax/modem. The only communications
- software we've got so far is TCP-Connect, and that is not at all
- satisfactory. (Pulldown menu needed to to send a Break [which
- then leaves you in the modem's command mode!], no dialing
- directory, little things like that.)
-
- So, I was wondering, what are some recommended choices for
- shareware/freeware along the lines of a modem-oriented terminal
- package. (I recall something called Red Ryder from way back,
- also MacTerminal, and there's bound to be a Kermit...) If I were
- recommending a comparable package to a PC user, I'd suggest maybe
- Qmodem.
-
- Pointers to an ftp site or email-response server would be great;
- an emailed program would be even better :-)
-
- Thanks,
