- Well I know of at least two. Microlink (1.04 I think) and Unicom 3.1. Both
- are shareware and are okay. Unicom is more powerful but you will be nagged
- to death by it, so much so that you may not be able to give it a fair
- shake. And then its cost of $69 ( I think) is about what you would pay for
- Procomm/Windows which I feel is a much superior product.
