Are you looking for a terminal emulator or a do-all, end-all terminal emulator
and file-transfer program such as kermit to procomm?


If all you really need is the terminal emulator I can reommend the one I use:
tega.  Written by co-worker Tom Almy, it is absolutely miniscule (less than 2
kbytes, as I recall). It eschews the ANSI escape sequences for cursor control
(because they are simply too long and hence reduce the speed of the emulator)
and instead comes with it's on termcap entry for UNIX (and whatever else uses
termcap) compatibility.  Originally it worked only with COM1; I'll throw in
the version he modified for me that works on com3.  It will do 19.2, with no
flagging, even on a 4.77 MHz PeeCee or ExTee.  Includes 43-line and 25-line
versions.


If I get any requests I'll post it here.  The uuencoded zoo archive is less
than 10kbytes.
