This is probably the biggest problem with Uniterm; if you've got a big
screen, it can't take advantage.  Of course, that's not what it was
designed for.

I've also played around with CoNNect; it works VERY similarly to
STalker.  They're highly competitive, having surprisingly similar
features.  If CoNNect could run as a desk accessory, it would be hard
to tell them apart.

CoNNect does better VTxxx terminal emulations, and is able to handle
virtually everything up to a VT220.  I've used some nasty applications
under it like GNU-Emacs, that takes the termcap virtually to its
limit, and never had a problem.

STalker isn't as good in this category.  The best that you can get is
an "ANSI" terminal emulation.

STalker IS good; and the fact that I (and probably Craig) know the
authour has nothing to do with it.

For those of us that HAVE to use Kermit, Uniterm is still the program
of choice.
