- Some major problems with X-comm:
-
- Very erratic under vi and elm. Characters can get put in random places in vi
- this is bad for people who program.
-
- *STILL* crashs on an amiga 500 when selecting transfer protocols from the
- phone book. (I was assured this was fixed by WW).
-
- File control is supposed to be disabled for nonreg users. Unfortunately
- its NOT in the phonebook and VERY easy to select on accident and this
- produces an instant guru!
-
- X-comm DOES NOT work on a 4000! after several hour fiddling with X-Comm we
- could STILL not get it to work on a 4000 with an HST DS modem.
-
- --
- These are all i have noticed after a few hours of using it beyond that it
- seems to be a very good improvement over Term and with some work I would be
- willing to register it (what is 45UD in $US?).
-
- one thing, XEM is nice but a true vt100 support would be nice ALOT of people
- need a REAL vt100 not what XEM supports! This is one of the things I dislike
- about term and terminus as well.
