If you are looking for a straightforward easy to
use a comms package for your ST, K-COMM could well provide the
answer. If all the settings of bits and parity and handshaking
confuse you don't worry as everything is taken care of with fully
mouse selectable menus showing all the options available. In using
GEM fully Kuma have provided one of the easiest to use
communications programs so far.
The only file transfer protocols available are
straight ASCII and XMODEM and, whilst baud rates can be chosen from
300 to 9600, split rates are not available. Function keys can be
defined as can the keyboard layout. Parameters set for different
systems you wish to access can be saved to disk and recalled as
required as can printer configurations which, as with all of the
K-series, can be easily user defined.
K-COMM is not a highly sophisticated package like
PC InterComm but it provides the basic communications software that
most people will need in the easiest to use fashion. Communications
is a complex business (I think so!) so the easier to use the
software is the better. K-COMM scores quite highly here over such
'all embracing' packages as PC InterComm.
