        If you're serious about terminal emulation, forget about
Minuet. You'll just frustrate yourself and your users.

        I suggest checking out MS-DOS Kermit -- terrific terminal
emulation (and much more), and it's freeware. Furthermore, Kermit
works great over TCP/IP networks using packet drivers, so it
should fit right in at your lab. Here's a URL:

Hope this helps.
