Jawaid,

	I must disagree with you (sorry).  Telcom is very good at the VT100
subset that *most* Unix termcaps use.  However, if you want to see if fail,
log into a VMS system that has LSE or NOTES,  Telcom rapidly loses its cookies.
Proterm does OK, except they seem to address the line/columns off by one sometimes
(looks like a fence post problem) and Snowterm does a very nice job.  However,
each of the other packages have the draw back that they do *not* work with GNO and
have broken or poor file transfer abilities.

	Oh well, I guess I keep using Telcom for xfers and Proterm for emulation
until soemone comes out with something better.
