Versaterm. $99. Faster downloads, better terminal emulation (rock-solid
VT100 emulation, plus TEK4014 and DG D200 for when you need them), better
documentation (all-new manual with the just-released version 4.0). 
Scripting capabilities are sufficient for anything I've ever needed.

I haven't touched RR 10.3 since I got it. In fact, I'll sell my copy to 
anyone for the $40 I paid to upgrade to it - any takers?

Anyone doing much interaction with C$S should get the Compuserve Navigator
program which allows you to prescript all your sessions and review the
transcripts at leisure, plus offers maximum download speeds, all of which
minimize the cost of using C$S.
