The last mainframe job that I had was setting up leased line communications between a major Australian bank and their biggest customers. These communications varied between three different communications protocols depending on the requirements of the other party.

As I was doing that sort of work when I first created the site, I of course included a section on communications software with pages on all three of the protocols i was using.

While few of you will ever come across XCOM or Netmaster, most of you will have heard of FTP.
