- I recommend Term, although it is a bit quirky sometimes, under 2.04 - it's
- "giftware," which is a big plus, and it has more and better features than
- JR-Comm and NComm, to name a few competitors. If you aren't running 2.04,
- you probably want to upgrade - many new PD software packages and utilities
- will only run under 2.x, which is good and fitting since it's vastly
- superior to 1.3 (it looks keen too :) ). The upgrade is around US$80 (I've
- seen $70, I've seen $90, so I average. :) ). Welcome to the world of Amiga,
- where the machines are great and the support is faltering - use your fellow
- user, please! We're (well, most of us) willing to help!
