[Coco] Best terminal program with PC Ascii support?

[Roger Taylor]

I wrote Net-Mate somewhere around 1990 or so, and fiddled with it 
over the years.  I never released this terminal program because it 
wasn't really complete enough to hand out, but since it's modular and 
uses plug-ins like Projector-3 does, I could try to build a basic 
copy of it with a few emulation drivers and file transfer protocol drivers.

Net-Mate can display the graphics characters we use to see on the 
"fancy" BBSes back in the day.  I think it does 8 FG and 8 BG colors 
which looks very nice but the font is a reduced pixel font similar to 
those old 51 character patches for BASIC.  It looks nice and has 
pop-up windows and a menu bar up top.

I can make a Rainbow IDE project out of Net-Mate when I get time so 
One could just load it up and click GO to build the .dsk image of the 
program, and maybe even finish the dern thing.
