You want $495 for cute features added to an excellent public domain
program with excellent documention and which is FREE?
	You guys are sick!
	For the record, I am a very satisfied NCSA Telnet and Brown
tn3270 user. These programs support colour, tek4010, painless ftp,
printing, multiple sessions, multifinder support, MacBinary support,
cut&paste, screen rollback, almost complete vt100 emulation. What could
you possibly add on that is worth $495?
	Snarl....!

P.S. Aren't there rules about commercial advertisements on the net?
