I believe NComm has a smaller memory footprint, slightly smaller than JRComm, and NComm seems to be speedy on 1.2, 1.3 systems and it should give you everything you need.  It was the first term program I used in the modem days for the amiga.

JRComm is also good, but seems to be better suited for 2.0 and up environments.

Then there is "Term", which is admittedly very large but very functional, might be overkill and probably only 2.0 and up.

ANSI BBSs were never a big deal for me either.  In fact, I used 4color screen for NComm and JRComm and I still maintain NComm was snappier, regardless of the throughput (serial throughput is going to vary).  Bring it up to 8 or 16 colors and you are starting to see some load on the ami system, which affects the printing of characters to screen and the like.  

I though AmiTCP came with a VT100 emulator (napsaterm), could be mistaken or corrected on it though.  Didn't use AmiTCP much once MiamiDX came along.
