	I started off with AE "Pro", but I now use "Softerm II" by Softronics.
While AE "Pro" concentrates on macros and file transfer, Softerm concentrates
on terminal emulation. They currently support over a dozen different terminal
types (including vt102, which gives you char/line insert/delete). It does
some uploading and downloading, but the macros are pretty weak. The best thing
about it (particularly for Unix work) is that they now have a board that plugs
into any slot, and gives you three extra buttons. This means that you never
again have to worry about ^L causing your modem program to switch to all
upper case, that is done with a combination of one of the new keys and the L.
I have had Softerm (in various versions) for over a year now, working at 1200
baud, and have not had any problems. I highly recommend it. (Warning: it is
not cheap, I think list is now bordering on $200)
