DZComm is the best I know, even more if you use it with Palantir (multitasking 
+ events, yes!). But 0.41 have some problems. 
You must download 0.5, but you can try the following right now:

1) Use NO flow control (look in the header for the flag, XON/XOFF isn't 
suitable for it and RTS/CTS have a bug in 0.5).
2) Reduce the baud rate to 9600 (the commands are sent to the modem at low 
speed normally, you then switch the speed when the modem is connected to the 
other end, new modems doesn't need it).
