The list would be too long to put here. Of course I should mention
my unfinished 'Chemix'... (grin). No, seriously there are quite a few
so one should know, what you want use them for.

MODs: NoiseTracker (Shareware, GS specific but an 8-bit program)
soniqTracker (GS Desktop MOD player)
ModZAP (also Desktop Pgm)
VOC Files: What's that? Could be interesting...
Compression: GSHK, also called ShrinkitGS by Andy Nicholas seems to be
the de facto standard for archiving and file transfer purposes. If you're
looking for compressors to enhance HD capacity, there are AutoArc by
Econ Technologies and HardPressed by Vitesse, but I don't know those
by personal experience.
Sorry, but I haven't any specific sources for those items handy...
You could check ads and catalogs of mail order houses to see, what's
going on in IIGS software, or read magazines/newsletters covering the
IIGS, like A+/Incider or A2-Central.

Well, I'm novice in telecomms, so I leave this question to the experts...
Maybe ProTerm 3.0 (A Telecomm program could do the trick)
