Hi,

Everything Jim says is correct except that DXTelnet has no limits
in the times you can run it, if not registered.
You can run it as many times you want.
Also, unlike many sharewares, DXTelnet has no evaluation limits.
Not registered version has a timeout on connections (30 minutes).
DXTelnet can link to many logs and one of them is the mentioned
dxbase ( see details at http://www.dxbase.com/news5.htm )
The same version can be turned into full, with no additional downloads
(by just entering a registration key) mebership is for lifetime
(unlimited free upgrades and support).
I would like to post this on the newsgroup but being not subscribed
it won't let me to.
You can post this for me, if you wish.

Hope this shades some light :-)
Ciao
