While I almost always agree with Chuq, and while the parts of his
software overview I omitted (for space reasons) were well thought out
and well written, I felt I should mention Versaterm as an excellent,
low-cost ($79) terminal package featuring good, FAST VT100/102
emulation, correctly implemented Kermit protocol for multiple file
transfers (also supports long packets), and a user interface that's a
joy to use.  Works perfectly with Multifinder.  The only thing it lacks
is a high-level scripting capability (it can do basic logons OK,
though).  For that you need Red.  On the other hand, Red doesn't even
come close to Navigator for getting around Compuserve, so...

Just thought I'd put in a good word for a good product.
