That's why I switched to GAP back then NF, A friend was running GAP, and I was very impressed.

Terminate had a mini bbs-like system people could dial into. Once I discovered Terminate, I never used another terminal system until I moved to Linux.

I know there's a copy of it (It's like 2-3 floppy disks) laying around on BBSes, I almost want to fire it up and tinker with it again. I can't for the life of me remember why I loved it so much.

I loved the file manager in it. Very handy. "The Final Datacoms Terminal".
