-----------
Can't tell you about MUMPS (Frank can, however), but for Win95 you
have two (2) choices of good terminal emulation with file transfer. They are
Kermit95 (commercial) and MS-DOS Kermit (free). Depending on what your
environment is, one or both may be suitable. Certainly the worst terminal
emulator of recent years is the MS Windows Terminal thingy. Please contact
Frank da Cruz, fdc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu, for details and maybe even an
inspection copy of both.
