I've only hear good things about Data Basix, but it is run on a VAX/VMS
system, so TIA -- which requires a UNIX system on the host's end -- won't
work.  On the other hand, SLIP/PPP is much faster than TIA and SLIP/PPP is
available for DB. 

The advantage of using VMS is that you don't have to worry about 
upper/lower case and it provides better security than Unix.
