- Xcomm is quite long in the tooth by now. Its descendant, XC, does still
- compile on a t6k, and I'll be happy to send you the source. (Get it now,
- because my next release may drop t6k support.)
-
- It incorporates xmodem and CompuServe's B+ protocol, and will readily
- attach the modem port to an external program, for example sz or rz.
- It can run from scripts; ascii capture files; transmit from disk files;
- dialing directory...
-
- It is a communications program, though, and doesn't emulate any terminals.
