- My experience with the registered 32 bit version of PMCOMM were not
- good. In fact I sent it back for a full refund.
-
- Reasons:
-
- - VT100 emulation was poor. The cursor ended up all over the place
- where it should not have.
-
- - CISB upload/download protocol ran CPU at 100% and often failed.
-
- I have yet to find a comm program for OS/2 with the robustness and
- features of Telix.
