   I can only speak for qodem (I wrote it and use it regularly), but it   
   is pretty decent as both a BBS client and a Unix/VMS client (it's   
   VT100 is better than most).  One weakness however is file transfers   
   over unreliable links like bare 3-wire RS232 or old   
   non-error-correcting modems (usually 9600 bps or slower).  Zmodem is   
   fixed in CVS but it's not yet pushed out in a release.   
      
   One thing I like is that qodem can capture to HTML format, converting   
   CP437 characters along the way to Unicode.  This is how I got the   
   Qmodem(tm) user's guide into HTML (http://qodem.sf.net/qmodemtd.html).   
   On many browsers it looks identical to how it looked in DOS - even the   
   white text on black background.   
      
   And if you find a bug, I'll do my best to fix it. :)
