CommToolbox Tools have been available from APDA for quite some time. The
set includes a VT102 and TTY emulators, modem, ADSP (appletalk), and
serial port tools and xmodem and text transfer protocol handlers. They
also have VT320 and IBM327X terminal emulators. I don't remember the
prices. These things have been available for quite some time, something
like 2 or 3 years. 

Let me add that Byron and friends have done a super job on the CTB. I
think he may be amazed at the things we are going to be doing with it
over the next few years.
