>>HELP!! I have no experience with modem communications. I need to transmit files using KERMIT with several brands of modems. I started by looking at MSCOMM32.OCX, but I don't believe it supports KERMIT. I have noticed a few 3rd party products at the Hallogram web site. Does anyone have any experience with these products? Any suggestions, direction, or feedback is greatly appreciated.

Marcus,
You may want to check out CommTools, by Magna Carta software. You can either get it direct, or I think Hallogram carries it. (check FoxPro Advisor for the number) I'm using it and it seems adequate. It supports Kermit and all the others I've ever needed/wanted.
