applications. All of mxConnect's functions - setting of communications parameters,
operating
a modem, selecting a terminal type, logging onto a host, performing a file transfer, playing
back any pre-recorderd sound and
quitting the application are accessible via the Cambridge Script Processor

Print redirection, print spooling to any printer
mxConnect allows host directed, page and log printing to any printer utilizing any font type and size.

control characters or commands to the printer for customized form design. Printed output
