According to Timothy Newsham:

I needed to do some DOS programming at work, and used the 'MCOMM' serial package. It comes with a demonstration program called 'smalterm.exe' I read through it a few times and it dawned on me how easy it would be to hook it up to LINK (link encryption). The problem is that the package is (c) and shareware. Furthermore none of the documents say anything about the status of the demo programs. I estimate it would take 30 minutes to an hour to get encryption up and running with that term program.

Well, I have to suggest telix. ;^) Telix has built in hooks for external protocols which you could use to impliment your encryption link. It has a very good script language. Further, I have been using it for some time now and think I am pretty good with it. I could help you get it going.

Does anyone know of a small terminal program that has a few essential features, with good modularity? One that is publically available or we could use with the authors blessings?

Telix is relatively small, has many features, and the script language is very modular. It isn't src distribution, though. Still it's a thought. +-----------------------+-----------------------------+---------+ | J.
