Need some advice. I've been using JRComm for years now and have had good luck with it, but I think it may be time to buy a more sophisticated and powerful telcom program. Any suggestions on what's best. I wouldn't consider anything w/o Zmodem and CIS QuickB as far as protocols are concerned. But I'm looking for some automation, if you know what I mean. If you've ever used Microphone on the Mac you know it has a neat little feature called "Watch Me" that records keystrokes and incoming text to create auto-logon macros without all the fuss and bother of trying to write them. I'd like a feature like that. I haven't looked at any commercial products or read any reviews lately, but the ones that seem to be current are A-Talk, Baud Bandit, Platinum On-Line and Mindlink. Is that it? and if so, what's best? Thanks in advance. Mike Cullison

Mike, You might want to hang tight for awhile, the next release is in beta test, has scripts and ARexx as well as a learn mode for creating login macros. I know it's been a hell of a long wait, but once you see it I'm pretty sure you'll agree that it was worth it. -jack-

Jack, I have been using JR-Comm since I got my first Amiga and have always loved it. I didn't know what features you had been working on for the next version and am glad you listed some. Thanks for an excellent program. (and always getting better) – comming to you from `here', where else?

You can expect the new release when it's finished beta testing. When will that be? I don't know yet. -jack-

What is the latest version of JR-Comm? I think the last one I saw was 1.02. Jonathan Schmidt – Whappin' from CompuServe Land!

JACK, HAVE YOU DECIDED ON AN UPGRADE PRICE FOR REGISTERED JRCOMM 1.02A USERS TO YOUR (NOW IN BETA TESTING) UPGRADE (IS IT GOING TO BE JRCOMM 2.0?) RODGER

Rodger, A firm decision hasn't been made yet. I've been leaning towards a $5.00 to $10.00 upgrade fee for registered users but won't be able to decide until I find out some other things. I'll be mailing out a flyer to everyone once a decision has been made though. -jack-
