I would like to add that MicroPhone II can handle the task with no
problems. The VT100/102 emulation is very reliable now. It works like a
champ with VI, EMACS, All-in-One, etc. MicroPhone II's Kermit is fast,
robust, supports Kermit server client commands, and batch transfers.
Additionally, you'll have at your disposal, very a powerful scripting,
yet very English like language.
