Years ago I registered a copy of PC-Talk III.  I like it but it doesn't
seem too happy with my 8MHz 286 box running a 2400-baud modem. 
("Doesn't seem too happy" means it locks up the system after a couple of
minutes of connection.)

So I wonder--had anybody got knowledge of an upgrade that likes running
at 2400 baud in an AT-type box?  Oh yes BTW it should be able to use the
Kermit transfer protocol too.  Oh yes, and VT100 emulation.  Am I asking
for too much?  (I haven't tried contacting Headlands because I read
Andrew Fluegelman's obituary.)

OR: (and this is probably a FAQ, though I haven't seen it):  what
software should I be using?  Please email me and I'll summarize next
weekend (10/7) and post the results.  But I'd really prefer an upgrade
of PC-TALK if available, because I'm used to its menu structure.
