MacIntosh Users,
	I am fairly new to the net.  It is a terrific forum for discussion, 
software sharing, etc.  It's fun to be a part of it!

	I am looking for the "perfect" software package to use on my Mac to use
with Unix.  As I understand, one of the most important features of the 
communications package should be to emulate a VT-100 (or VT-220).  I have found
that second on my priority list is the ability to transfer data via the kermit
protocol.  

	In order to satisfy both requirements, I use two software packages:

		1.  MacTerminal - when I "vnews" or do any software 
				  development

		2.  Red Ryder 4.0 - when I download software/ upload text
				    using Kermit

	I realize this is a rather lengthy description; the obvious question
is:
    	What one software package will give us mac users both features?
also
	What requirements/features have I overlooked in my search for the 
	"perfect" communications package?
