Wow how did this get here -- after the responses I read earlier.
Our net stuff sure has been weird latly.

Anyhow-- As I said before -- Check out "Starship Term or StarTerm"

Amigaworld rated it very highly. I use it all the time.
If does not have dozens fo emulatiors or auto redial like DIGA, but
it works very well.

It's kinda like the Volkswagen Bug of communication programs. (NO flames
please -- this is ment as a compliment.)

It has no frills but work well. It has Xmodem and kermit (I believe).

It has softkeys, and a phone list.

The BEST thing about it is the price -- it's shareware.

It's also small -- so it doesn't take up too much disk space.

I have StarTerm on a disk to do my banking with. I still have room
for one year of bank statements. I usually get one or two statements 
per month.

I also have room on this same disk for a CLI and some other utilities
I use for banking.

Check it out before you buy any of those expensive packages.
