BinkleyTerm is available for UNIX; do some anonymous FTP to m2xenix.psg.com
and look in /pub/fidonet/binkley for bt3023.tar.Z.

There's also rfmail, which has more of a UNIX-style command-line interface
rather than Binkley's full-screen stuff.  I don't remember offhand where
to get it; check an archie server.  Only problem is that there's no
documentation; even the README's in Finnish, as I recall.

I know we have a version of it here.  I don't know how recent it is,
though.  Try FTP'ing to louie.udel.edu and look in /pub for robo*.

Posting to the net, too, in case anyone's interested.
