Deskmate was! I can't remember, didn't it have a 'modem' program too?

WFW3.11 in it. Works great.

I was randomly searching for software, and I ran into TELMATE!!!
Who remember's THAT OS that was Radio Shack/Tandy specific??
I wonder if you could call THAT the 'first GUI for a IBM Compat'!
That program was 'awesome'! hehe... you had a calendar, phone book, a word processor, calculator....forgot, might have been a few more cool programs! Was
it a fax program too??

Yeah, I actually downloaded it about a month ago. Not sure what I can do with it now! lol!
You found it? If I may ask, is it available for download(where)? I
I have it at http://cmech.dynip.com/filebase.bbs/abanware/ (lookOnce things settle down for me here, I have some serious additions for your collection. That's pretty impressive but I have a good stash of stuff hiding out somewhere around here that would be nice to add to

You found it? If I may ask, is it available for download(where)? I have some old machines that are on DOS OS and would like to try and see if it will work. I know some of the deskmate versions were Tandy specific models but what the heck worth a try.

Deskmate is definitely cool.
I had a Tandy 1000TL in 1987 and it came with DOS 3.3 in ROM and an enhanced deskmate that took advantage of the TL's better-than-PCjr/Tandy graphics modes, rendering the desktop in 640x200x16 (original DeskMate on a Tandy 1000 ran in 640x200x4). The TL also had a digital audio chip/sampler so the music app was pretty nice comparatively.
Over the Christmas holidays I picked up a Tandy 1000HX and have expanded it pretty fully and, of course, it came with DeskMate on one floppy. It's fun to play with. I've now got it installed on my "HD" which is a Lotek XT-IDE controller with CF card. Also added a dual serial port and an NEC V20 for 15-20% CPU speed improvement over the stock 8088-2 7.16MHz.
Here is a gallery, showing her evolution over the past few months. Pretty much done with the upgrade now, happily. (That 384K PLUS RAM card was an expensive and elusive thing to track down.)

Nice gallery. I found some Tandy 1000 on ebay but they are asking 300.00 for
it. Still thinking about it. Nice improvements.
