TE/2 works OK, but it has several flaws that make it not so nice.  First,
TE/2's Zmodem transfer tends to abort on long files.  Not nice.
Second, the terminal emulation is sadly lacking.  There is no VT52 emulation,
and the VT100 emulation doesn't know how to get out of reverse video. 
I've heard that Hyperaccess is a very nice comm program for OS/2, but since
it's commercial, I haven't investigated it.  Until then, I'm still using TE/2,
but I'm going to drop it like a hot rock once something good comes along.
