Versaterm stores all the configurations for each phone number.  They are
called automatically when you select the phone number.  I routinely use
Versaterm to contact 7 different mainframes using DG, TEK4014, VT100, and HP
emulation on 4 different configurations by just selecting a phone number.
Also, Versaterm is UNIX friendly with delete, and other useful keys handy.

Disclaimer: I am a co-worker of Lonny's but am not connected with Versaterm.
