Let me check in my archives. Back when I got my first Apple//
compatable computer, I used to get online with ACT, the terminal
program written for GEnie. I'm pretty sure I have a few others. If you
don't mind forking over a few bucks, you could get ProTerm. It's a
pretty sweet terminal program, too, with more features than anything
I'd be able to get for you.
