Summary: VersaTerm is the way to go


  I'm a huge VersaTerm fan ($99 list, $79 from ComputerWare). It is
simply the best supported product I have. The emulation is very good, for
fast connections (i.e. 9600 baud) the throughput is FAR superior to other
programs. The latest version (3.1) supports background processing (including
downloads) with MultiFinder. There is full Kermit and Xmodem support. VI and 
EMACS have extra support since you can configure VersaTerm to let you use the
mouse to move the cursor in those editors. There is also Tektronix 4014
support. If you have graphics intensive needs then there is a higher priced
version ($219 from ComputerWare) which supports Tek 4105 in full color on
a Mac II. There is much more, but suffice it to say that it is an excellent
product with GREAT support.
