Hello, Mark, a nice day to you.

 ML> do one thing and do it well

 My grd-Pa use to say: If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well.

 ML> the telnet.exe app does telnet and nothing else.
 ML> those of us from the DOS world are used to having one app that
 ML> includes everything... the old "one stop shopping" syndrome.

 That was the way on the C=128 OLR. Simple but did the thing quite
 nicely. I never did on-line mail on the C= as Telnet does and HT too.

 ML> purchased ZOC rather than the commercial version of hyperterm.

 Zoc is quite nice and reminds me a little of that C= terminal. Then I
 do DOS with BW and that too is the simple app that I need for this
 here. I have not touched *nix nor the pointed head bird, so I can not
 comment, nor compare. YMMV but my mileage is fine here and yours seems
 to be too.

 Be good )\/(ark.
