	Both of those are good for some circumstances.  If you dial in
to a Unix system on a regular basis, use the ST Unix Windows client.
It lets you open several terminals at one time and takes better
advantage of the Unix system.  The only problem is if you have a low
bandwidth modem, one window producing a lot of output will make the
others really slow.  The client and server side of Unix Windows is
available through anonymous ftp, but I don't remember what sites right
now.  I've only run this on my 1040, so I have no idea if it works on
newer Atari machines.
