I would recommend Telemate. Here's why:
 
Telemate is a full featured, flexible communications program with an 
easy-to-learn-and-use integrated environment. With Telemate, you don't 
need to use a separate editor, viewer and mouse driver to make smooth 
communication. All these features are built into Telemate, and they are 
accessible through menus and windows.
 
Telemate has multitasking features built in. While you are dialing or 
downloading, you can prepare messages, view files, scroll back to the 
last connection. Or you can have all of them at the same time; each 
clearly runs in its own window.
 
The editor allows you to prepare your messages, edit documents or type 
letters. And the viewer can display files as references without 
influencing the editor. The very large back scroll buffer works just 
like an editor, you can save parts of the contents to files, find text, 
and even quote a message by pressing a few keys.
 
Through the clipboard you can cut and paste text among windows. You can 
prepare a message in the editor and then copy and paste it to the 
terminal.
 
Telemate has most of the popular protocols built-in, including Zmodem 
and CompuserveQuickB. There are also four slots for external protocols.
 
Writing a Telemate script is as simple as writing a BASIC program. If 
you don't have any experience with writing scripts, you can use the 
"learn script" feature.
 
Without any additional hardware, Telemate lets you select a screen 
height from 25 to 32 lines on your normal CGA adapter and seven choices 
of screen height on an EGA or VGA adapter.
 
Telemate uses expanded memory, extended memory and EGA/VGA video RAM as 
virtual memory to store data.
 
Requires 480K RAM
Costs $40
