My mother needs a Mac terminal emulator with one special feature: it must
be able to capture as much as a megabyte of text from the mainframe in one
fell swoop.  I don't mean file upload/download, I mean capturing the
mainframe's standard output to a Mac (hard) disk, as in MacTerminal's "Save 
Lines Off Top".  She's been using a PC-based package that can only
handle a few hundred K at a time, and it's just not good enough.

For all I know, MacTerminal can do this, but the limits are not in the 
documentation and I don't intend to take the 2+ hours it would take to find 
out.  I'm hoping that someone out there has had this problem and has found a 
terminal emulator that can deal with it.  (In case you're wondering, she's 
trying to capture information from huge on-line text databases that have 
never heard of XMODEM or Kermit.)  Shareware, freeware, or commercial product 
is fine, and it doesn't have to deal with speeds over 1200 baud.  

Send mail to me at inteloe (well, mail to intelod will probably make it
too).  Thanks in the proverbial advance.
