Announcement of NetTerm 2.1 for Microsoft Windows
Houston, Texas, July 31, 1995 -- InterSoft International, Inc announces
the new release of NetTerm 2.1 for Windows. NetTerm is a Windows 3.x
and Windows 95 compatible program which offers the following:
1. On-line phone book for both Unix telnet and bulletin boards.
2. Supports both VT100 and ANSI terminal emulation with full
color and ANSI graphics. Automatic switching between vt100
and ANSI escape sequences.
3. User defined number of scroll back lines.
4. Support for the popular Trumpet TCPIP stack.
5. Scripting language for automatic login, setting up custom
programs such as Trumpet and detection of Internet provider
IP addresses.
6. Built in phone dialer.
7. Every key can be defined as to what it sends to the host.
You can even define keys such as F1-F12 to send long
strings such as 'FTP FTP.MICROSOFT.COM'.
8. File transfers using zmodem and Kermit.
9. Easy modem setup and initializing.
10. Supports corporate PIN numbers as part of the dialing string.
InterSoft International, Inc. is one of the first to provide Zmodem
file transfer for both dialup and local ethernet connections. This
means you can connect to your Unix based systems, and transfer files
with Zmodem whether you are at the office or on the road. For
developers of WWW home pages, it provides a flexable easy way to access
an Internet account, with SLIP, PPP or a shell account and perform
file transfers.
The following zmodem file transfer rates were obtained on a 66MHZ
486 processor using a US Robotics Sportster 28.8 modem. The windows
communications driver was replaced with cybercom.drv for high speed
modem operation. The Trumpet winsock provided SLIP/PPP and locally
attached ethernet support. The modem connection was via SLIP, the
locally attached ethernet was via odipkt and winpkt. Modem data
compression was enabled, as is reflected in the extremely high data
rates for the text file tests. All numbers are expressed in bytes
per second.
