Hello world.  This is my first message on the net so please, be merciful if
this question has been asked/disputed/beat to death but I am currently handing
down my 520ST w/SS drive to my brother to make room on my desk for a Mega 4
w/Megafile 30, 24pin printer, the works.  As I go down my list of to-be-aquired
programs, I see 'terminal program'.  I would just like some recommendations
on what people think is THE BEST terminal program for the ST.  I am currently
using UniTerm and have found it to be an extremely useful and powerful
program.  I will soon be sending off my registration fee off to Simon Poole -
he deserves much more than he is asking!  Anyway, I've read the ads about
MasterLink.  I really like the idea of having background scripts and down-
loading.  If Simon implements that then I will have no second thoughts about
going with UniTerm, but that's got to be a lot of work to implement.  Is 
MasterLink out yet and if it is, does it support Tek and 132x49 mode?  Is it
a solid program?  Emulation is very important.  I have to work on the campus
computers on almost a daily basis and I'm taking graphics next quarter so the
Tek emulation is a must, especially when it gets <30 degrees!

Thanks for ANY replies.
