- - Have you tried FreezeDried (FZDTerm)? I don't know if it support Kermit
- - but I know it supports just about every other type of down/upload
- - protocall. Also, since the transfer protocall are not built into the
- - program but are external modules, any stand alone tranfer protocall can
- - be used.
- -
- You might also want to try ShadowTerm II, which is availableon GEnie. It is
- Shareware, but costs less than Freeze Dried Terminal, and it also supports
- external protocols. It will run on a 520ST, so memory is not a problem. The
- demonstration version available on GEnie has everything enabled so that you can
- look around, and a thirty minute time limit. One of the main advantages that
- ShadowTerm II has over Freeze Dried Terminal is a GEM interface. It is easy to
- get at your accessories. I would say that it matches up with Freeze Dried
- Terminal in all other areas with the exception of emulations. ShadowTerm II
- does not do any yet.
-
- If you do not have a GEnie account, you can get the program directly from me.
- E-Mail me for information on that.
