I now have my ssb and Pactor IIe all hooked up and when I went to install
the terminal software (PlusTerm ), I found that it was DOS version and won't
run on my Win2k OS..

I contacted SCS and ask for a recommendation and they agreed that I should
get a Windows Terminal program. However they didn't recommend any..

I'm not sure of what will be the best and simplest for me.. I'm not a ham
yet and typically any of this stuff, is written for and by hams. At the risk
of offending our resident Hams, let's just say the ones I have looked at are
complex to the extreme. (Lotta stuff for contests, etc.) Much like ham
transievers, more complicated that necessary to send and recieve email.

The one program that seems to be promoted on one of the Pactor sites is
EasyTerm for Windows. The info and representations would indicate it has
complex features, but I'm wondering if it might still be the best..

I can't tell from what I read if it can also be used to control the
transciever as well as the Pactor modem. My new Icom 710mkII has that
capability so would like to find a combine program if possible.

What are the rest of the "I Just Wanna Do Email and Weather" skippers
using??

"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\hypertrm.exe"

Down the Airmail software then the sailmail software found at
http://www.airmail2000.com. You don't have to be a ham to use the
software. Also checkout http://winlink.org. You can also use the
terminal software that comes with windoze ( programs accessories
communications hyper term )
