=Hi there,
=
=I just discovered a Procomm lookalike called pcomm. I found the latest
=version at ftp.uni-kl.de (131.246.9.95) in /pub1/unix/communication.
=The name of the file is pcomm-1.2.10.tar.Z. It compiles and runs without
=too much problems on my 386bsd.

If memory serves, Pcomm was the base for a program that eventually
became XC.
