Chapter four deals fully with connection of modems, serial cables and phone jacks. Five covers testing of the setup, and some troubleshooting tests. The process of using the program starts with chapter six. In proper pedagogical style, the user is introduced to the invocation and termination of the program, and the help system, along with some examples of the command structure. Chapters eight to twelve cover the basics of communications commands.
Terminal emulation is discussed thoroughly, and leads to key reassignment.
Chapter thirteen revisits terminal emulation with character sets and translations. This, of course, also covers character translations in file transfer. Network connections are discussed in chapter sixteen and, as promised, the command reference is in seventeen. The command reference also covers non-standard environments and devices. The glossary that Gianone has put together is of the same quality.
