I've always liked kermit (ckermit).  It runs on *everything*.  More
systems then zip/unzip and almost as many as "Hello, world!".

It's scriptable, doesn't hide details from you, does TCP/IP (though I've
never used it).  The DOS version is a great way to turn an old 8088 into
a nice VT100 terminal (one floppy).

I started using it on a Z100 machine in 1984.  I've used it on DOS, VMS,
MacOS 6, SunOS, Solaris, Linux, *BSD, Dartmouth Time Sharing System.  It
worked nicely with term or a slip emulator too.

Minicom is probably easier to use though.  I liked seyon in the day.
Except it's X based and development was spotty.
