I have little love of Procomm, and haven't tried PIBterm.  If you want a
lots-of-cutesy-menus-and-xyzmodem package, I'd recommend Qmodem.  I use it
for bbs'ing.  But I find that for higher speeds, these packages just don't
have the throughput, and Kermit wins.  Hence:  Kermit for a 9600 baud line,
Qmodem for bbs'ing.  If you've any kind of communications software at all,
you should be able to bootstrap yourself from a bbs.
