We're looking for terminal emulation software to run on several
MSDOS pc's connected remotely via modem to an SCO UNIX system.
Wyse 50/60 emulations are most important to us.  Remote printing
capability is also required.  File transfer would be nice but isn't
required.

The packages I'm aware of which fit our needs are:

DoubleView from Digiboard
  We've tried the demo and found it to be somewhat flakey.  Maybe
  the commercial version doesn't have the problems we saw.
  The licensing is generous; 8 users per copy.

TERM and TinyTerm from Century software
  We have a TERM demo but haven't had a chance to use it yet.
  Licensing for TERM is 1 user per copy while licensing for TinyTerm
  is 5 users per copy.

ICE TEN from James River Group
  No demo available and funky licensing scheme.  8 users per copy
  at a single location.  If running on remotely connected PCs (as we
  will be doing), requires a separate licensed copy for each remote
  location.

Has anyone evaluated and compared these products?  If so please share
your findings.  If you're aware of other mature, well supported,
products I'd like info on those too.

Thanks.
