	The one I use on a daily basis is xcomm (I can't remember where I got
it, probably on mwcbbs..). It works fine, supports dialing directories, has
a (small but nice) script language. It sometimes "hangs", but I understand
that Coherent's serial port driver is the one to blame in this case. 

	BTW, has anybody tried to port PCOMM to Coherent ? (:
