I call from home to a VAX cluster and use All-In-1 and WPS-plus.  Online 
has serious problems with cusor positioning when the line wraps at the 
80th column.
 
Also, I seem to remember that it won't handle scrolled regions well, at 
all.  You'll have to forgive my memory since I haven't used it since I 
found that other programs work so much better.
