I've had problems with Versaterm leaving my computer in some sort of
funny state --- if I want to use Mathematica after using Versaterm, I
have to reboot, or Mathematica will crash as it starts up. On the other
hand, I've never had any troubles *while* using Versaterm (except that
I can't use Mathematica at the same time).
File transfers with Versaterm are definitely slower than with Zterm.
It's possible to quit Versaterm without hanging up, start Zterm, transfer
files, and switch back to Versaterm though. This gives you the best of
both worlds.

PS -- In case anyone else is or isn't having conflicts with Versaterm
and Mathematica, I've got a IIcx, system 6.0.5, Multifinder, 8 Meg,
not too many INITs, a recent version of Versaterm (I don't remember which
one at the moment) and Mathematica 1.2.
