We use ICE TEN PLUS for all our PC's and we are mostly happy with it from
DOS.  The Windows version is still immature but hopefully will be sorted
out shortly.  The licensing isn't so restrictive, as far as I'm aware,
just one license per host for unlimitted users.

We use it mostly for local connections but I use it from home via modem
for system admin tasks.  It includes file transfer (ucopy) and includes
wyse60 emulation as well as sco console and others.

Also, it supports background printing from dos applications as well as
the ability to fire of unix commands via psuedo printers - we've setup
a background backup scheme utilising this capability.

hope all this helps you with your eveluation!
