Help from the net-folk, if you please:

I am in dire straits, and I hope that someone can help. I have an IBM-XT,
and I would like a public domain communications program that can perform both
KERMIT and XMODEM up/downloads, and can emulate a terminal that *works* with
*all* UNIX programs. (vi, for instance.) Things I have tried:
            KERMIT --> Works fine, except there is no XMODEM protocol
            PROCOMM --> Terrific user interface and menu systems. Also
                        performs great up/downloads, but the emulations
                        are pretty awful. Try using it with vi sometime,
                        its amusing. (Yes, I have version 2.20)
            PIBTERM --> Pretty icky user interface, but other than that
                        it is the same as PROCOMM. (Good transfers, but
                        none of the emulators work properly.)

Anyone out there have any other suggestions? Please email or post responses. If
there is any interest, I will summarize for people....

Thanks in advance....
