Just one word ahead: Go out, sell your SC1224 and get an SM124 instead. Most
comm packages perform best on a monchrome display.
I use Rufus, a german comms package written by Michael Bernhard. It has build
in X- and Y-modem and uses the GRZ/SZ-zodules for zmodem. It's quite fast,
supports all resolutions, including the TT resolutions; uses different fonts
(with GDOS) and has a built in batch interpreter.
Now, why do I use it? It's fast and reliable, it has the best ansi-emulation
I've ever seen and offers a lot of possibilities. It's shareware, the fee is
50 DM, that's 30-35$. 
The only problem for your is that Rufus is in German, but i've heard rumors
about an english version floating around...
