Just a small correction:  Versaterm supports Ymodem as well.  I find
that 1K block Ymodem transfers give me nearly the same efficiency as
Zmodem transfers, and the program is more reliable than ZTerm.  And it
has near-perfect VT220 emulation.

But there's only the most rudimentary scripting -- sufficient to get
you logged in, but not much more.  Still, it's small and fast, and the
price is right.
