Re: [Freedos-user] Connecting to a BBS via a modem

I also remember using Telix and ProComm for this, both under MS-DOS before FreeDOS was a thing. I don't know web sites, but you can probably Google them. Telix was shareware. Don't remember about ProComm. ... > > For software, there is also Kermit, developed at Columbia University and > now at
