my 'perfect' communication program would need to support the followings:
1) internal kermit 1k, x,y,z modem
2) ansi, vt102, (vt220 preferred, but not required)
3) mouse and menus
4) 25, 43, 50 rows (or resizable + fonts if for Windows)
5) keyboard remapping, preferably the *whole* keyboard.
6) log script
7) file view/delete, exit to DOS
8) backscrolling at least 500 lines (or some 50K)
9) at least 19200bps, direct line connection.

the old pcplus is getting there, maybe the new one will just do what i wanted.
(can someone give me a list of new features of pcplus 2.0?)
qvt for windows is nearly adaquate, but it's too buggy and can only backscroll
about 100 lines (a serious limitation).
telemate is very close, but it's more suitable for bbs users.

so, to sum up, i'm still looking for my 'perfect' terminal program. :-)
