I also started with ProComm Plus for DOS.   Just like WordPerfect of the
time (5.x) I sure had all of those key sequences memorized

I think I still have a copy on my old DOS workstation that I used to use.
Need to fire that up this winter.

Thank you for this tip.  I had an old IBM NetVista all-in-one workstation
that I wanted to resurrect, finally did so within the last month (running
eComStation!) , and of course needed a way to connect to other things on
the network here.  A terminal emulator is a must. :)

Installed ZOC, and now replying to this message connected to my Alpha in
the house.  (the NetVista workstation is in the back garagebecause who
doesn't need a workstation in the garage just in case?)

Now I need to see if I can find a halfway usable web browser...

Another oddball Pro/350 document

2021-10-06 Thread Chris Zach via cctalk
I have another odd preliminary document: Guide to writing a P/OS I/O 
Driver and advanced programming notes. Order AA-BT73A-TH


Is there a copy on the net somewhere, or is this another unique oddball 
I should scan?

This is superseded by AA-BT73B-TH, which is at Bitsavers.
