- Unicom is a windows, not DOS, program. It is also the most obnoxious
- nagware I ever had the displeasure to try. It may be a 'great program'
- to you. To me it was a lesson in how quickly a windows program can
- be trashed.

- PS The best DOS VT emulator is mskermit. Period. I like qmodem for
- some of its flashy stuff, but it is a lousy VT emulator! So are all
- the other major shareware terminal programs that I have tried ( every
- one I know of, and I've been looking and trying since CP/M days).
-
- RBCOMM and COMMO are pretty good. Kermit is better. My solution? Right
- now I'm shelled out of qmodem and running mskermit. If I want the
- flash or to do zmodem, I just exit kermit back into qmodem. I use
- qmodem for things that don't need a good VT emulator and shell out
- into kermit for those that do.
