Qmodem and Procomm used to be the Gold Standards. I ran an 8 line BBS 
back in the day that used telnet for login to a Linux text only install. 
Ytalk was cool beans for the users to chat with. We ran NightmareOS as 
our MUD. Pine, of course, for email. Amazing how much fun one can have 
without graphics. (except for solor ASCII!!) Ric
