I mentioned Modem MGR in an earlier and saw a request for more info about 
tonight.  I don't have a copy of the program yet, but I have seen it in oper-
ation and had a chance to look through the docs.  It compares very well with
Ascii Express Pro in all aspects.  In its favor are better terminal emulation
capability (supposedly does the VT-100), clock card support, and simpler macro
implementation.  On the down side, for file transfers you must specify file 
type (BAS, BIN, etc) unlike AE Pro where you only need to specify transfer
mode (protocol or standard).  The price is reasonable - $49.00 compared to
$79.00 for AE Pro.  This is doubly good since the Modem MGR package includes
both Prodos and Dos 3.3 versions.  The documentation is quite substantial and
yet easy to read.  I will attempt to get a closer look at it after the
holidays and give a more indepth review.  The three people I know who have it
all swear by it and they were previous Ae Pro users.
