Anyone willing to share procomm with me. Thanks in advance.

That would be a copyright violation and not something we would encourage on this forum.

True and so is the passing of Any other software on this board. But however this haven't stopped
everyone from doing so. Many other propritary software has been exchanged on this board more vital then procomm and not to mention the other system information that should be kept guarded, has been passed around regardless of who the info is being given to.
Now I'm not asking for you to risk life,limb, time in prison or being banned from this or any other Tech board because of my indulgences. In fact I guess simply not answering would have answered my question. But you went the extra yard and pointed out the legality of passing around outdated, nonsupported software that is no longer available. Now all this has taught me a valued lesson. Thank You and good day :toast:

If Procomm were truly outdated and no longer available, I might agree. However, it is readily available from mainstream software sources. Go to www.symantec.com to find a retailer or etailer.

Much of the stuff I see requested is certainly a legitimate request.

For instance, Nortel releases one more tiny map file to fix a bug. Toshiba no longer has manuals or user guides for sale for a model. Samsung gives away a CD and you pass on the file.

If you were trying to give away a bootlegged copy of Windoz XP Pro that didn't have to be registered, I would have a dilema. MS is the evil empire, they have cost users hundreds of millions because they let in worms, viruses, etc. They are and have been almost a virtual monopoly that has made people pay exhorbitant and unjust prices due to lack of competition, much of which they bought up to form a monopoly.

I wouldn't think it was reasonable or just to rip off a vendor that has tried to produce a decent product and I think that probably 99% of the software producers fall in that category.

And, there are some sleazy people who locate in Texas and who use every opportunity to screw the dealers and give them nothing for their labor replacing defective product, etc. and those people are fair game to use whatever means you can to recoup money that you were cheated out of.

Is a manufacturer really harmed if a non-dealer gets unauthorized software from a vendor who sells a system that the authorized dealer would not have sold? I think not.

I don't download music I don't pay for. Artists should be paid for their work. That said, I think everyone should rip off the people who put out XXX crap. I don't suggest listening to it, just handing out CDs that can make a million copies.

If Procomm was really supported, then they would verify XP compatability. It appears to me that it's their bastard child. What is the date of their lastest version? I think that they (Symantec) are looking for the demise of modem communication i.e. terminal emulation.

Just my opinion

Bunny I knew where you were going then you lost me. The only place to get the NRU Map file is through a dealer, correct me if I'm wrong. This was passed arouAs for Microsoft this is a great country we live in. Where anyone can come from nothing and wow the world. If you don't like the product, don't use it and don't support the company by using any of their other products. There are many other alternatives in which most are freeware.

Well, I've seen people ask for a map file and seen responses as, "you've got mail" or "you've got a PM" and I don't find a problem with that as the people who are receiving it are servicing equipment made by the manufacturer. That seems kinda logical and I know Toshiba doesn't charge dealers for software downloads, so passing it along for free and using it to work on their equipment doesn't strike an illegal note with me.

As far as Microsoft, I think they are in a special category. They have grown from nothing, but that growth came from threatening to cut off access to Windows if they sold any units with different software, from stealing the gui from Apple, etc.

Some of Microsoft growth was from innovation and much of it was from sucking in someone as a "partner," taking everything they had and disposing of them. From making Windoz incompatible with product on the market. It was crush everyone else, there is no room for anyone but us.

It would be one thing if they had built it with great innovation but the US and the EU have had major lawsuits over completely illegal business practices and then they pay multi-millions to pay not the fines that they honestly owe but some pittance that their lawyers grind the government down to so they are not in reality punished at all.

In one of the settlements, they wanted to pay the fine in software at full list price that would be given to schools. Instead of allowing the schools to buy whatever the school needed, it was take this ten dollars of plastic cds and call it three thousand dollars paid.

I'm sorry but Microsoft is scum who has lied, cheated and stolen to get where they are and anyone who steals from them gets a pass from me. I have legal MS software here but if someone used bootleg MS software they would get a pass from me if I was their judge.

When all these people have gotten worms and viruses from their defective software, MS paid nothing. Buy our crap and take your chances sucker is not my idea of an American sucess story.

I think someone who rips off music from Nat King Cole or Johny Mathas or Sammy Davis Jr. ought to be prosecuted. By the same token any one who rips off the foul mouth XXX 50 cent crap ought to be given a medal for not enriching a XXX trash mouth who thinks its cool to promote killing cops and beating women. And that goes for that M&M moron friend who thinks its cool to talk about killing your mother and what a whore she is.

When you promote domestic abuse, you deserve to have your mouth washed out with soap twenty times a day until you understand right from wrong. Rip off any XXX foul mouth scum bag with my blessing, but then if you wern't on their level, why would you listen to that toilet trash?

In any event, I must have missed something because I have never heard of Procom or used it knowingly and even if someone has a copy, don't send it to me, I will buy it if I ever need it. I don't think they have ever infected a phone system with a virus or stolen software from their competitors.

procomm, hyperterminal, all the others are going by the wayside and being replaced with ???

Right..... I think we might be getting off the subject here.
