	I'm in the market for a telecommunications program.  This is
mainly for logging into UNIX systems, so the only real requirements
are (1) some sort of scripting language (to automate logins) and
some sort of terminal emulation (for vi).  Based on what I've
read, A-Talk and Baud Bandit appear to be two of the better programs
out there.  BB, though, doesn't do any emulation other than Amiga
ANSI.  Do I really need, say, vt100 emulation to use vi?  Or is 
ANSI a good enought approximation?  Or, would a need a special 
termcap entry to use vi?
	Any help would be appreciated, as well as recommendations for
Baud Band, A-Talk, or other terminal programs.  Thanks!
