   As a BBS client, SyncTERM is pretty good.  I'm on linux and have to   
   run it in curses mode though, otherwise it pegs my CPU, no idea why.   
      
   As a general terminal emulator (i.e. using it to reach other VMS/Unix   
   hosts), SyncTERM is about average for BBS clients which means it isn't   
   that great.  You need a VT100+ emulation that can handle 'vttest' for   
   that kind of use - speaking from experience that's about 10 times   
   harder than a basic ANSI.SYS emulator.  One of the reasons the old   
   Unix greybeards were so unhappy with most of the DOS-based comm   
   programs, about the only one they didn't hate on was ProComm.
