                             INTRODUCTION
                                   
   Novaterm is the best communications software available for the
   Commodore 64. It supports today's high-speed modems as well as
   older Commodore modems; it supports 80-column emulations as well
   as traditional Commodore color/graphics; it supports a variety
   of memory expansion devices for capturing text; and it supports
   all of the most common file transfer protocols, including
   Zmodem.
   
   Novaterm is perfect for the Internet, for major on-line
   services, and for local Commodore and non-Commodore bulletin
   boards. Novaterm provides for all of your telecommunication
   needs!

  i.2 World Wide Web site and FTP site
  
   If you already have an Internet account, you can access
   Novaterm's web site and FTP site. The page contains a searchable
   on-line version of this manual among other information. The FTP
   site contains the older shareware version 9.5 of Novaterm, which
   is an excellent preview of Novaterm's abilities.
