I use screen because I'm used to it. Does everything I need.

Yeah, I've always looked at it that way too. The thing is, once you see
some of the features that can be used, you start to wonder "How did I
ever get by without this?" :-)

The split-window options are excellent. CLI multitasking. Hahaha

.... Something will have to be done, something irresponsible.

I have a love / hate relationship with screen. Even on the best of
days, screen breaks emulation when I go between traditional Linux-based
systems and AIX. AIX uses vt220/vt320 throughout SMIT (smitty). I've
got to the point where I don't use SMIT because the emulation keeps
getting trashed and have to remember command-line syntaxes that go
upwards of 100 characters. :|

I use picocom. It's got enough command line switches to
warrant a shell script to launch it.

Will convert line endings on the fly; supports ascii-xfr.

I use it to talk to microcontrollers via USART or USB
(CDC/ACM stuff).

I have no idea if it'll telnet or ssh.

Sometimes I'll try tinyfugue by .. I don't remember .. at
some point I'm pretty sure I need to be listening for telnet
inbound connections to use tinyfugue effectively (because it
was designed to talk to telnet destinations such as LambdaMOO).

So I probably /world localhost or similar to telnet to the
(Linux) locahost. When I get a shell prompt (split screen,
like IRSSI for example) I can then ssh out to a BBS on the
Internet.

SCREEN is great if you have a shell account on someone else's
machine, because of the detach/attach feature; it lets you
stay logged into a BBS that doesn't time out your session,
even when your modem has dropped carrier (including shutting
down a DSL modem for any reason you may want to do so).
