 Procomm Plus for Windows was nice - resizable, rescalable screens and
 decent ANSI emulation. I'm sure there are some old copies floating
 around the aether.

 There was a Telix for Windows, I don't remember much about it except
 for it using the same "bloop boop beep" connect sound.

 I was doing work on systems that needed full VT220 emulation, and
 Procomm Plus for DOS/Windows were the only common apps that provided a
 decent emulation.
