An outstanding package is PROCOMM which is shareware, but at $25 a pop is
the most outstanding value on the market.  The authors are constantly updating
to include not only bug fixes, but also user suggestions for  improvements.
Most IBM oriented BBS have it or it can be obtained from DATASTORM 
TECHNOLOGY who wrote it on their BBS @ (314)449-9401.  It supports several
different terminal emulations and 8 different download/upload protocols.
You can write command files to be executed either attached to a number
dialed or at your discretion from a menu.  It can be used as a BBS also.
I have no affiliation with DATASTORM other than being a satisfied user.
