I am currently using WinQVT 4.55, which has fairly decent terminal emulations.  It does apparently have some bugs, particularly with respect to Kermit transfers, but is otherwise a nice product.

Another shareware program you might look at is Unicom 2.0.  Unicom was recently reviewed in some PC magazine (I believe PC World) in a roundup of PC term programs and came out looking very well.  It has a nice dialing directory, and quite a few nice features.

Finally, DynaComm is the "Big Brother" of Windows Terminal -- it has quite a few more features, and is supposedly very nice.

I like WinQVT.  I have used Unicom, but the shareware version only goes up to 1200 baud -- you have to register it to get 2400.  It's nagware.

DynaComm is a commercial program which I have never used, but I have seen reviewed nicely.
