	There was a stack that was circulating on GEnie for a while called
'HyperTerm', I believe.  It was a shareware deal which included many of the
common functions of a term product excpet for nonASCII file transfers. I think 
the author was waiting to get $$ before adding them in.  I'm sure you could
locate it in the GEnie/CIS/Delphi archives, or I could try to find it and mail
it off to you.
	I also think that Apple has a stack with some basic comm XCMD's that
comes with the HC devlopers package.
