- I am using Telix in a DOS window and have nary a single problem, even with doing
- background file transfers. I just minimize the DOS window running Telix and let
- her run. What my point is, is there a reason to get a windows communications
- program over this DOS one? Are there some features that Procomm Plus/Win or some
- other windows comm program has that I may be missing? Telix seems to have
- everything that I will ever need and it is shareware, which is a big plus.
