	AnsiTERM doesn't lose characters on my Zip 8/16, and didn't on
my 2.6 GS back before I had my Zip, both at 19.2k port rate. I usually
use 19.2k since that's what the GNO serial drivers can handle =) But
really, I never have gotten thruput that required a 38.4k DTE. It's
scripting language is just as good as ProTERM's. It's a good program.

	ProTERM tkicks ass in every respect, except that it's p8, and
that silly isolate-the-user-from-the-modem interface.

	Spectrum would be better with SHR VT100. I mean, it has a SHR 
ANSI driver, why the hell no SHR VT100 driver? Arrow keys don't work.
It loses characters at 19.2k. It's ZModem connects unreliably. The
only really cool feature it has is its scriping language, but considering
how much everything else is lacking, it's just really, really bad.

	Telcom has decent VT100 and YModem, works in GNO w/o losing
characters, and doesn't eat much bank 0 space. I use this program
alot, since it's so convenient.
