While Binkley is a mailed I used it for both extensivly. Even tho its
terminal is not much of a terminal I used it more than a program such as
telix. Lets just say I got a good memory b/c I would call BBS's that are
not in nodelist :) (A LOT) It would be nice tho to have at the least a
cheap dialing directory and all the very basic functions of a real
terminal. If it had that then that would be all I would use/need.

That'd be nice. Also take out the video fossil in dos versions.

 KW> I like having the ability to dial by node number, so usually use Bink

That's why I like it too. And I like a small but simle com program. Even if
it was in b/w I'd still like it :)

Binkley can save seperate capture files. It will prompt.

Binkley is so versatile as a mail that we can use it for almost anything
but cooking supper :)
