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.
