I've only tried Smartcom a couple of times.  It seems that they hired someone
to figure ways to make it difficult to use.  I've been using Procomm for a 
while.  It is true that the emulators do not work quite right for many of the
terminal types.  I've been using the adm5 emulator and it seems to work 
without a hitch.  This has been used for calling up Unix systems.  The emulator
does a "slow terminal" display for the adm5.  That is, it doesn't show inserts
in vi until you hit the excape key.  That has only been a very minor complaint.
The folks putting out procomm seem committed to make it a very good package.  
There have been three updates this year and it just gets better.
