   In another post you mention running Linux soon.  On Linux two decent   
   BBS clients are SyncTERM and Qodem.  (I'm partial to the latter, but   
   that's because I'm its programmer. :) ) Though both do telnet and SSH,   
   SyncTERM is strong on BBSes with some nice features for games, while   
   Qodem has features for non-BBS systems like good VT100 support,   
   Unicode, and keyboard macros.
