Jeff,
Get VLT or VLTJr. It is a freeware Terminal/Comm program written at
SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator). Although the program was mainly
written so the folks at SLAC could interface there Amiga's with the
mainframes they have, it works fine as a general Comm program. It is by
far better than HandShake, VT100 and CKermit which are the only other
Kermit compatible Comm program I can think of in the PD/Shareware area.
VLTJr is the same as VLT only it does not have the Textronic's graphics
terminal, which it sounds like you will not be needing.
VLT(Jr) is also AREXX compatible and have a scripting language of it's
own if you don't have AREXX.
A note on documentation. When you download it it will be without docs.
There might be a doc file also available, but it is poorly hacked together
from TEX files that the manual was written in for SLAC. Do not dispair
though. Simple send your name and address to:
