Hi K.o. and other readers.
All things you mention can also be done with TsTHwin.
Missing function only is telnet.
But LU7DID wrote a little program to use with agwpe so maybe it could be
used together.
Also Sally 7 is a great prog but a bit hard to configure.
What you did not mention is the auto decode in winpack of 7+ msgs !
Also there's a 7+ coder in winpack.
In TsThwin there's only a coder and for decoding you should use auto7p
(win32)
But if you dont use 7+ it works fine without.
Sally 7 and TsTHwin work in x64 os's
