I used to work at Century as product manager for TinyTERM.  IMHO, it
and TERM are nice products.  Century put a lot of emphasis on making
the wyse emulations work, so you can depend on that.  If all you have
are serial connections then you will probably be happy with them.
NOTE, that TinyTERM does not support file transfer.  We talked about
some sort of low level ftp type client, but I don't think that will
happen real soon.  Also, if you want windows support, Term for Winders
is just bitchin.  Really fun to play with and more adjustable/customizable
widgets than you can imagine.

Also I agree with Bill about vt320.  (Or for that matter, vt220).

Regarding Procomm.  If you could go to a VT emulation, then this is
an extremely nice product.  Other than that, I would be cautious.
And PLEASE don't judge Procomm based on the damned test-drive stuff
or the old shareware version.  Go to a reputable dealer and get a 
real copy for evaluation.  If you hate it they will take it back.
Really.  (This goes for Term and Ice/TEN as well).

And finally, I agree that Ice/TEN and Ice/TCP are both very nice
products.  I think that Century has more exact Wyse emulations, but
both products are very nice.

There, are you sorry you asked?
