My opinion is that Flash 1.6 and Uniterm are the only two. See my other
post in this group.... I found the STalker 3.0 demo to be very buggy
and extremely slow. Uniterm is the fastest, so if you're used to that,
STalker will make you laugh out loud. Try Flash 1.6, it's solid as a
rock, unless you need very complete vt102 like Uniterm. (even then Flash
is pretty good).

You must have better eyes than me. :) Stalker probably lets you use
GDOS fonts or something, but it will look like sh*t and be unbearably
slow. Uh, Flash 1.6 does 50 line mode also...
