That's cool.
The first terminal program I used was Procomm Plus (I got a copy from someone else who used it).  I had also used Telix a bit, but I eventually settled on Telemate as my favorite terminal program.  I think one reason I liked Telemate is that it had a couple of things it could do while you're on a BBS waiting for file transfers & such - It had a CD player control so you could play a music CD in your CD-ROM drive with it while you're on a BBS, and I think it also had a text editor feature, where it would show a window where you could load and edit text files while you're on a BBS.

I thought Telix was pretty good too.  But recently I tried to use Telix from DOSBox to call some BBSes, and it seemed to have some serious problems rendering ANSI..  I was wondering if the problem was with DOSBox, as I remember Telix working fairly well on an actual DOS PC back in the day.  I also tried Telemate in DOSBox, and Telemate worked a lot better from DOSBox.
