G'day Alexis 
Telemate is our chosen communications program :-) 
 
 
Telemate is a full featured communications program with an 
easy-to-learn and easy-to-use integrated environment. Its 
multithreading feature allows you to prepare messages, view 
files while you are downloading and printing files. Each task 
run in its own movable and resizable window. The Windows-like 
mouse interfaces let you complete a connection and select 
options without touching a key. 
 
The back scroll buffer works just like the built-in editor and 
viewer and you can save parts of the content to files. Through 
the clipboard, you can cut and paste text among windows and 
quote message from the back scroll buffer to the remote system. 
 
Telemate has the most popular protocols built-in, including 
Zmodem, Ymodem-G, Xmodem, Kermit and CompuServe QuickB. Writing 
a script program is as simple as writing a BASIC program. The 
learn script mode can also generate script files for you. 
 
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, PC-compatible or MS-DOS computer 
640k RAM, modem.
Other Requirements : DOS 3.x or higher. 
 
Good talking to you
