I believe I started all this.  But still back to the basic, I wasn't
excited about PacerTerm's multiple session capability because I want
to call up several BBS with one modem line.  I was wondering if it
can have multiple UNIX sessions over one modem connection, like
MacLayers.  I found MacLayer quite fascinating but lack of support
for zmodem (and I can't seems to get xmodem to work in Layer either)
is too bad.  I was hoping that PacerTerm will do just what MacLayer
can plus the zmodem support.  Apparently, that's not the case.
