We may be talking apples & oranges. My comments are related to the Perle 3I
and its equivalent PC card. We use it for dialup from home, say. PerleTalk
has emulation and printing. File transfer uses the PC Support (_not_ Client
Access) router and some Perle commands that let Perle know about the
router, or something. My gripe is that I cannot run Client Access _through_
the Perle 3I, as I could through, say, the ASCII WSC.

Hope that clarifies a couple things I've said.

Cheerio!
