A program I use daily on an MSDos machine (no boo's please :-) is a 
program called LCterm.  It is a full bodied comm program which among 
others has the following very useful features:

    1)	VT100 emulation

    2) 	Kermit is available through it.

    3)	Has the ability to run scripts.  Very important as this feature 
    	allows me to automatically dial in to work and log me in.

    4)	The ability to create (and turn on/off) a  log file.

These are the key features I would want.  You asked!
