The best place to keep up with term is over on the linux groups. There have
been a series of updates since October 26. We are now on 1.11, which seems
much more robust because of dynamic buffers.
The best place in the US to get the latest sources is on
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/apps/comm/term. Once you are there most
everything is down, but also look ../termstuff.
I use term between Solaris 2.3 and SunOS 4.1.3.
