Ditto on everything above.  I just got Rev. 3.2, and the two complaints I
had with it have been corrected -- Auto-Redial now recognizes BUSY and other
Hayes modem responses, and it runs in the background, which means I can set
my Mac to Attack Modem status and go write Mother's Day letters in Word.

3.2 also has improved MultiFinder capability; Y-Modem; a ton of Kermit
parameters; a flag for making the program go local temporarily; Remote file
transfer (haven't read up on this, but it seems that if you have a Mac
running unattended with VersaTerm 3.2 and a modem set up for auto answer,
you can call up from another Mac and do file transfer using this.  Looks
boss.); default save folders (instead of volumes); option of express
file-transfer (no CRC checks); vt100 fonts; auto-zoom in MultiFinder
(anytime you put VT in the background, it automatically zooms into a tiny
window near the trash can.  Move it to the foreground, and it resumes it's
normal size).

And probably some stuff I've forgotten.  I use it about four hours a day,
and it is the single most useful (and most-used) program I've got for the
Mac.

                         strange and unusual."
