    I remember Telemate well - on a 386SX/16, being able to open up a text editor window and edit text while downloading was huge. I had to keep Procomm Plus around for administering telephone switches, though.

    Hello Kurt,

    These days I mostly use "cu", but I would consider using
    Kermit if I found a BBS that supported Kermit file transfers and QWK mail packets. Either way I wouldn't require DOSBOX.
