I found the latest version at ftp.uni-kl.de (131.246.9.95) in /pub1/unix/communication. The name of the file is pcomm-1.2.10.tar.Z. It compiles and runs without too much problems on my 386bsd. Try archie to maybe find a newer version or a site more close. Regards - Tibor Sashegyi (cproto@abel.cs.curtin.edu.au)
