Procomm Plus and that scripting language was awesome for automating Symix MRP software.

Great program.

There were other "-comm" programs back in the day, I remember using TeleComm and zComm, and other things, in independent Quarterdeck desqView windows .. there was a period in the late 80's/early 90's where the modem 'terminal/comm' program selection was later reflective in the mid-90's "browser wars" .. I went through a few different 'comm' programs before settling finally on minicom because: linux.

But I'm sure, on one of those floppies in the vast collection on the shelf, there are at least 12 different MSDOS "comm" programs that I tried out, for a while ..

i remember using procomm with the first modem i used, a hayes compatible modem at the super fast speed of 2400 in 1990 or so. it came with the modem i think. and as more modems came along i stuck with it because it was familiar. i think i finally replaced it in dos when the modems got faster than 14400. i can't remember what i replaced it with though.

I think I switched from Telix over to trumpet and mosaic. I don’t think I ever used hyperterminal. It just seemed too basic. Most were happy to run one of these in a dos window because it gave them the experience they were used to having.
