        I am looking for a PD/SW communications program for the Mac
   for a group of _users_, not programmers.  I heard that Zterm was
   well thought of a little over a year ago, but haven't kept up
   with the newsgroup.  Any recommendations for or against would
   be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.   David Oury

I've been using ZTerm a little. It seems to be a relatively easy-to-use
program, but some parts need work. Using it with more than one dial-up
is non-intuitive, and I've heard (but not experienced) of problems with the
z-modem downloading. I use a networked machine with Telnet more, but if I
go back to mainly dial-ups I'll probably send in the SW fee for ZTerm.
It's much better than qvt.
