- Well, we have PM Terminal (which comes with OS/2 2.0, and which
- shouldn't be dismissed out of hand), PMQVT (which I don't like much),
- a PM version of Kermit (ditto; a bit dated, but it does do Tektronix),
- PMComm (crippleware; Zmodem and scripting work in the registered
- version), the WLO port of Windows Terminal (not my favorite), and
- perhaps a couple others. All are available via anonymous ftp from
- ftp-os2.nmsu.edu.
-
- There's no real standout in the bunch. On the commercial side there
- are some darn good ones, like TalkThru, ChipChat, Dynacomm
- Asynchronous, and, soon, HyperAccess/5 PM.
