	Does anyone know of a good communications program that is FULLY
MSWINDOWS compatible ? It should have at least ANSI/VT100 emulation
(Tek 401X graphics emulation would be a real plus), [XYZ]MODEM and
KERMIT protocols and be able to fully operate multitasking and sustain
at least 2400baud up/downloads as a background task/window.
	I know that standard apps PROCOMM, PC/INTERCOMM and probably
KERMIT will work with WINDOWS 386, but I don't think they can hack
the background I/O requirements.
	Too bad that MSWINDOWS TERMINAL is so lame. I do know of a
method for using TERMINAL in conjunction with the DSZ (ZMODEM) comm
program to more or less get the job done, background downloads and all,
but isn't there a better way ?
	Please reply by email. Thanks.
