Hi Bob and all,
It was Multicom you're thinking of, about the most popular of the early
digital communications software having AX25, FAX and one I don't recall
on the floppy. Yeah, they worked well enough but my preference was
Terminal in Win V3.1.1 because you could write all kinds of scripts and
command strings for it, plus it had the advantage of allowing transfer of
data to and from any subdirectory on the HD.
Uh Bob, look inside Winpack and you'll find TPK in there. No, the
software isn't dumb, the terminal is! I guess you don't remember the old
terms now disused, the terminal extension of a mainframe or central PC is
a dumb terminal.
Winpack gave you headaches? I distinctly remember you stubbornly refused
to take your headache medicine and passed your headaches on to the rest
of us. (Well, you brough it up.)
