Mike,

You might want to move Sterm up on your queue. It's got to be the best package
for use here on CompuServe. It's B+ implementation is the fastest was to nabb
files from our LIBs, and it also has xmodem so it's reasonably useful on other
services.

But ... don't forget you can fork a shell from within. So I find myself using
Sterm as a base then branching out from there. For instance:

I log into a remote system in Orlando quite a bit. He supports several features
that make use of Vt100 emulation. By design, Sterm doen't have that .. but
nothing stops me from forking a shell and firing up OSTERM and taking care of
business.

Same system ... I also use KERMIT alot. Again, fork city and fire up Kermie and
away I go.
