Console tool advice

I'm probably an anomaly on this one, but I prefer the "kermit" program
over any of the GUI or curses based terminal packages.

Kermit is quick, robust, and has a rich scripting language.  It has
a superb built-in help system, and since it's not a GUI program you
can run it even without X up and running.
