Well I got my free upgrade to MacTerminal 2.0 today. 

The improvements:

Transfer protocols are more flexible and provide:
	1) Plain text with delays between chars and lines.
	2) MacBinary mode Xmodem
	3) XModem Text makes cr-lf pairs outbound, strips lf's inbound
	4) MacTerminal1.1 mode ( non-standard Xmodem )
	5) Standard Xmodem
Only mode 4 uses the non-standard Xmodem self initiating, the rest require you
to select receive file, which brings up an SFPutFile Dialog.

A menu allows you to switch backspace and delete on the backspace key.

Better emulation of the vt102. Still can't do character insert, but it does
insert lines better.

Has a complete selection of international character and graphics sets to 
choose between.

The wait for call appears to work, and default answer mode is 0 (don't).

The non-improvements:

Like I said character delete still doesn't work.

They still ship it with the stupid command shift ~ to generate a '~'.  I
patched mine immediately as follows:

Using Resedit open Macterminal, open KICH ID=256.  Near the bottom you will
find:

	1B 90 1B 7E  1B 60 1B 7E
	1B 90 1B 7E  1B 60 1B 7E

change this to:

	1B 60 1B 7E  1B 60 7E 7E
	1B 60 7E 7E  7E 60 7E 7E

Save.

This results in:

	SHIFT-` = ~	whatever other modifier keys are pressed.
	COMMAND-` = `	in combination with any other modifiers EXCEPT shift.

	` alone or with CAPS-LOCK, OPTION, or both generates an escape.

This seems much easier to me.
