[ale] Encryprted External Modems

[John Mills]

Christopher -

I have had very poor experience with Hyperterminal. 'TeraTerm-Pro' is much
better, and free. See also 'PuTTY'. Either of them does SSH console
sessions out of MsWin. TeraTerm looks more like Hyperterminal and
shouldn't dismay a MsWin user. There are a few differences from HT in the 
configuring controls, IIRC, but functionally they arrive about the same 
spot. With the significant advantage that TeraTerm _works_. &8-)
