Subject: RE: Anyone got a plain ASCII Windows font?
Hey, it was done with a smily-face, so it's OK.
Personally, I prefer Procomm for my DOS needs and either
Hyterterm or Tera Term for Windows needs.
Procomm had a scripting language that was really cool. I remember once
setting up 5 or 6 older PCs with Procom to watch the console ports on a
bunch of ATM routers that were having a problem. We would watch for any of
them to show certain symptoms on the console ports and reboot the router if
it showed a failure. It kept the network running in a huge seimconductor
wafer mfg. facility and bought us some time while the manufacturer figured
out what the problem was.
