I know of two OS/2 terminal emulators: Cawthorn's ChipChat and
Hilgraeves Hyper Access 5.
I like the features described in Chip Chat but couldn't afford it.

I use and have used HA5 Version 1.1 for OS/2 for about 6 months now.  It
works very well
under full screen and more slowly in a window under standard edition. 
Under extended edition,
it can not find ports 2 and 3.  It supports scripting, about 14
different terminal emulations,
and about 6 different ?-modems.  It also offers direct support of about
20 different modem
families.

I do have a problem when telneting from my host to another host and when
emulating a terminal,
I get too many carriage returns.  Haven't been able to figure that one
out yet.

HA5 got best buy notices from a number of magazines.  A copy that runs
with DOS is provided
in the OS/2 pack.  Costs a bit over $115 mail order.
