I am looking for a terminal emulator package to work with a modem and ran across 'Communicae 2.0' in the NeXT vendor list. Evidentally, it emulates VT100 and Tek4040/14 and does file transfers including Kermit. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience with this package.

It has one major drawback however. It does not use the AppKit. Apparently it is written in ANSI C. The menus, windows, etc. are bit maps, hard-coded into Communicae. This means that it doesn't follow the NeXT interface guidelines in a number of ways, which can be annoying at times.
