[Kantronics] Packet software for Kantronics KAM Plus

Sun, 09 Jun 2002 09:24:03

Greetings:
You gentlemen should look into a program called Easyterm at
"http://www.mvhenley.com/eztpage.html" ...
It was written for 32 bit windows and has many features specifically
designed for the various MARS applications.
Of course I am slightly biased toward this program...hi
Check with some of the Alabama MARS fellows for a critique of the program
in their MARS work.
