I'm not familiar with VersaTerm, but if it doesn't support your login,
try the AutoLog DA.  It's flexible enough for me, allowing prompted user
input such as selecting one of several machines on one phone number.  I have
it installed directly in the application (MS Works) and it functions ok with
MultiFinder (which I seldom use so there may be glitches I haven't discovered.)
