Not a serious question, I hope. I, for one, make my living by calling
non-UNIX systems, on both coasts of the country, for sessions lasting up
to 24 hours. I get real sensitive to the quality of my tools. My tool
of choice these days is C-kermit, even for systems without a kermit of
their own. The one drawback is that in such a case, I cannot send files
to the remote system, although I can capture incoming data. I'm using
Trailblazer modems, and most of my sites have them too, so the conversations
are mostly error-free.
When I have to send a file, I tend to return to PCOMM. The curses interface
slows this down a lot, but I don't send nearly as much as I capture, so I
can live with it.
