Well, I could not wait any longer! :-)  I got the brochure on pcAnywhere III
direct from Dynamic MicroProcessor Associates, and could resist rushing to
my local dealer and buying it!  $99!!!  This thing is great!  It does all
graphics modes, has printing on both host and remote (including graphics!)
has the ability to take calls from 30+ other terminals besides the supplied
term program ATERM (which by the way comes with it - ie, you get the software
for both the host and remote system unlike CC).  The speed is very nice too.
At 2400 baud, I enjoying satisfactory screen updates on color text, and 
reasonable screen updates on graphics screens, although I would want to
run windows! :-)  But, at any length, with the amount of features, and
the ease of use, I highly recommend this package!

Just wanted to share this with you.  By the way, you can get more info
on pcAnywhere by calling DMA at 212-687-7115.  Note: I am not associated
in any way with DMA other than I am satisfied with this product.  

Hope this helps.

Mark.
