	Two popular packages for this are Procomm, which is Shareware,
and PIBterm, which is public domain.  I personally prefer PIBterm,
since the code (written in Turbo Pascal) is easily available,
well-written, and well-documented.  It also has a few more bells and
whistles than Procomm, although Procomm does have a more complete set
of terminal emulations.
	You can find these on many BBS systems, and probably at user
support groups just about anywhere.
