Its a good enough serial comms program though I don't know about its dialler because I've never needed it. Then, of course, there's Kermit, the most flexible and powerful of the lot. It works as both a dial-up and telnet terminal, can emulate several types of terminal and does file transfers if there's a copy of Kermit at the remote end. Its available for most operating systems. You can get it from here, http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck80.html but the OP will probably need to compile it himself, usually a straight-forward process. Martin
