I can't imagine why anyone would be a telecommunication program. With so many
of them in the public domain (much less the ease of writing your own) it would
seem somewhat silly to plunk down $100 bucks for such a program as crosstalk. 

For starters - I'd suggest kermit - not the greatest user interface - but at
least it's small, efficient, supports vt100 emulation and tektronic emulation.
