Your best bet is probably ProTERM 3.1 from http://www.intrec.com/
Intec since it has Zmodem and is extremely easy to use.  You can
send a whole batch of files from the IIGS through ProTERM 3.1's
send zmodem command to HyperTerminal on the PC's zmodem
protocol.  It is also better than most other terminal programs
because it has a 57.6k serial driver for the IIGS which means you
get your files to the PC several times faster than with less capable
terminal programs.
