I just downloaded it yesterday and have a comment or three about it.
I spent well over three hours on it before I managed to get it to dial
my modem for me, including the 1170 code to disable call-waiting. 
It drops characters when scrolling.
It doesn't respond to a Vax set term/inquire, and something happened
to force not only a disconnect form the Vax, but also from the DecNet
server.

My personal opinion of this program is that is isn't worth the $35 
registration fee as is.  It isn't as good as Procomm, which I didn't
like either, when I had to use it.
And yes, it doesn't do VT-100, either ANSI or just plain terminal
emulation.  I tried several  BBS's with it, and when selecting ANSI
graphics, got the same garbage as when I try it with KERMIT.

It needs work.
Marc
