Let me start off by saying that I use and have used Procomm for quite a
while and that it has served me well.  My big complaint which applies to
the new release of 2.4 as well as the older versions is that the terminal
emulations are poor.  Most of the terminals which Procomm supposedly
emulates have character insert/delete.  Procomm does not support these
features on ANY of its terminal types!  I have gone to using VT-100
emulation because that one is not supposed to have those features and thus
it works fine on this Unix system.  I sent them a note about this problem
months back, but apparently their (Datastorm's) priorities lie elsewhere.
One would think that a package as full featured as Procomm would have
better terminal emulation.  I'd be happy if they had a mode which just
passed characters thru to the bios which on my machine are handled by
Fansi-console.  I could then use Fansi's very good ANSI emulator which
does have character insert/delete.  Maybe in their next release...
