ZCOMM or PRO-YAM (for UNIX and I believe DOS) is written by Chuck Forsberg of
Zmodem fame so you get extra Zmodem perks not avail in DSZ.  It pretty much
handles any screen output you want.
  Some caveats:  1.  Command line interface (you have to make menus)
                 2.  Somewhat complicated (User Hostile?)
 
  Some Plusses:  1.  Very very very powerful
                 2.  Turbo learn program will write virtually perfect
                     logon scripts.
                 3.  Very extensive scripting--flexible
 
I've been using it for a year or so and still find new stuff.  Try it.
Zcomm is Shareware.  PRO-YAM (its big brother) is commercial.
