Telemate is a well-developed well-documented high-capable shareware
terminal emulator designed for MS-DOS + modem users. It's only
drawback for me was that it didn't support 132 columns for my
Lisp-hacking (uh, I mean structured development :-) 

The files are as below and will be available as soon as Nathan notices
he's got the protections wrong :-)

With most tools built in I'd say it would be a good choice if you
running a system where the mouse has the highest MIPS rating :-)
I've attached a feature list from the manual.

  What's Special?

  Integrated Environment: Telemate is much more than a communications
      program. Telemate is a flexible, full featured environment, with an
      interface that is easy to learn and use. An editor, viewer and mouse
      support are built into Telemate. All of these features are accessible
      from menus and keyboard macros.

  Multithreading: Telemate has multithreading (or internal multitasking)
      built-in. While you are dialing or downloading, you can prepare
      messages, view files, or scroll back to the last connection. You can
      have them all at the same time, running in their own window.

  Mouse support: While the other communication programs still require a
      mouse-menu TSR to emulate their function keys, Telemate considers the
      mouse as an integral part of its design, providing a smooth user
      interface, regardless of the input method you prefer.

  Built-in Editor and Viewer: The editor allows you to prepare your
      messages, edit documents or type letters. And the viewer can display
      files without disturbing the editor.

  Back Scroll: The very large back scroll buffer works just like an editor.
      Portions of the buffer can be saved to disk. By pressing just a few
      keys, you can search the buffer for matches, tag file names and even
      quote a message.

  Clipboard: Through the clipboard, you can cut and paste text among
      windows. You can prepare a message in the editor and then copy or
      paste it to the terminal, or you can tag file names from the back
      scroll buffer and paste them to the terminal.

  File Transfer Protocols: Telemate has the most popular protocols built-in,
      including Zmodem, Ymodem-G, Xmodem, Kermit and CompuServe QuickB. In
      addition, there are eight slots for external protocols.

  Easy-to-learn Script Language: Writing a Telemate script program is as
      simple as writing a BASIC program. If you don't have any programming
      experience, the Learn Script mode can generate script files for you.

  Enhanced Video support: Without any additional hardware, Telemate lets you
      select a screen height from 25 to 32 lines on your normal CGA adapter
      and 7 choices of screen height on an EGA or VGA adapter.
