Hi Howard,
About "16-Bit OS, dealing with Graphics and this mail-list" of

We find ourselves at opposite poles of a same spectrum. I couldn't
get `PicLab' or `ImProces' to work but i was using `GrafX' in minutes...

I compared both the `NetMail for DOS v2.12' files with my `{Commo}'
capture files and it seems they're just the same, including the headers.

I take notice.

HE> It is just like standard telnet except that it has built-in zmodem.
And it has support for external file transfer protocols as well, as
i recall your previous post... Since the ~TelNet~ protocol is built-in,
and the `ZMoDem' protocol with it, either there's also support to access
a HardWare Modem thru a serial-port or it can work as a "socket", if you
prefer, so that any external protocol driver is actually usefull... :^)
HE> If a ztelnet-like program existed for DOS, I wouldn't find it
HE> necessary to use a "shim" + comm program for telnet.
`MS-Kermit' accesses, euh... the ~TCP~/~IP~ stack (?) directly and
`IVT' does this as well but then one gets `ZMoDem', instead of `Kermit'.
`MiniCOM' doesn't include `ZMoDem' nor `C-Kermit' but i thought the
Virtual ~TelNet~ MoDem "shim" would have made them happy side-by side...
I believe `C-Kermit' is just like its DOS counterpart, that's a terminal
but a guy can also use it as any external file transfer protocol driver.
MS> ...sorry to say that the "I live in Siberia" link... ...is down.
HE> I think there are probably a few more dead links on my page.
Well, it won't have to be anymore since there's an alternative. :)
