Basically I'm confused about what do communication programs actually
*do* in this brave new world with the Comm Toolbox.  I mean, the CTB
provides terminal emulators (VT100, VT320 provided by Apple), file
transfer programs (KERMIT, XMODEM), and connection tools (serial, ADSP).
What else is there for a minimal featured comm program to provide?

A scripting language (for connections and stuff) I guess.  Maybe
macro buttons (ala RR or WK) to initiate scripts.

But what else?  It seems to me there won't be much to differentiate
between CTB versions of White Knight, Versaterm, etc.
