I just tried the RenoComm beta w/ success using an external modem! It does
not yet support vt100, just tty, emulation, but looks very promising. I
had a little trouble w/ it recognizing my serial connection, but it seems
to work fine from a reboot. The program is a little slow on the OmniGo.
It slowed down use of any other app a lot and was rather slow at displaying
incoming data although vertical scrolling can be used to redraw the display-
- -it does not yet do any one-button refresh. The horizontal scrolling
capability among other things probably slows down the display. It doesn't
seem to do any key mapping for punctuation/symbol shifts and other OmniGo-
specific keys. I connected to my soon-to-be-killed CompuServe account @
19.2kpbs w/out any problems otherwise. It definitely works better than
OgComm and ZComm Lite for what's implemented thus far.
Doug Taylor reported that his Ogo tells him "that there was too much
activity going on" when he tried to use RenoComm (and Geocomm also). Have
no idea why he got that.
Anyway, thought I just had to let y'all know that RenoComm looks promising
for the Ogo.
Have fun! be productive ;-) and enjoy!!

PS: Sorry to trouble you w/ forwarding my mail to the OGO mailing-list
again. Thanx!
