I guess I only raised it as an issue because in 'modern times' I have
found the terminal emulation features of Tera Term to be far superior to
anything else.   If you want to connect to a Linux or BSD box from a
Windows terminal and run modern curses-based applications like Midnight
Commander, Tera Term is great (in TTY or in Telnet or SSH modes).

Back in the BBS days with a modem, I discovered Telemate and never
looked back at Procomm, although Procomm 2.4.2 was an excellent term for
it's time.  Procomm Plus sorta borrowed on 2.4.2's rep and I thought
never delivered much more.  And it wasn't shareware, to boot.  (it was
Bossware, the kind of software box you'd find on the shelf of 'the
suits.')

But anyhow.  I used to do 'seat of the pants' adventuring like BBSing
with the term.bas program that came bundled with PC-DOS 1.0.  Not
because it was very good, just because it was cool and minimalist.
