Which Text-Based UI Do You Code With?

JHWH asks: "I've been asked to design and implement a management software system with text based user interface as the replacement of an older one running on AS/400. Despite my attempts towards a web UI, the customer is actually willing to have a text based UI. The main reasons are the need for a very low bandwidth and the ability to run on serial terminals. All this in the 21st century! Host systems will be Linux, the language will be C or C++. I already thought about the use of text based browsers like lynx or links. So now I have to wipe the dust away from my ncurses manual, or can Slashdot suggest something more effective?"

I can say from experiences that ANYTHING is better than the AS400 so it probably won't be worse no matter what you do. Chiseling stuff into stone tablets would be better. Ncurses is alright I guess, but I'd reccomend Visual Studio 2005 ;) lol jk
