I use online! regularily myself, and usually do not have any problems with it
When it gets the stray characters I just go to half duplex and do the ctrl o
bit, and back to full duplex. Online! works fine for what I do with the local
Cyber, Prime and Pyramid systems that I have access to. The VT emulation is
fine for my uses, and seems good, but I know some of my friends do find it
to not be "perfect"
 
My only problems have been with what Online! does with the keymaps and how
that causes problems with 1.2. This only occurs with the VT emulation modes.
The rest work fine, with 1.2. I have to use setmap before running Online! so
that I can use VT emulation (ie. setmap usa0). Hope that we get a new version
of Online! that gets around this, as I cannot get my setmap command to work
in the batch startup-sequence.
 
I have Maxicomm, and several other PD emulators, but I never use them. I
find Online! has done me well for most of my telecommunicating.
