I've used SOFTERM 2 for some time, and found it satisfactory. Its major limitations are: 1. Doesn't support 3.5 inch disks. 2. Doesn't run under ProDOS although it reads and writes ProDOS (as well as Pascal, DOS 3.3, and CPM files). 3. Full utilization requires either that a hardware card (supplied with the software, of course) be plugged into a slot of an Apple ][, ][+, or ][e, or into the joystick port of a ][c, or that a supplied utility be used to synthesize the three extra keys that the hardware otherwise gives. VT100 emulation is fine at 1200 baud, but I have no experience at higher rates. Twenty-three terminals are emulated, ranging from ADDS Regent 20 to TeleVideo 950 (DEC VT52 and VT100 are somewhere in the middle).
