Yes, Term should work. But AutoPilot is much better <bg>.
First of all: After your modem connected with CIS you have to hit "return" once
or twice to get a prompt.
Maybe you will have to use 7-E-1 instead of 8-N-1 in your Term serial settings
to get readable text. You can change your CIS settings to Latin-1 later and
return to 8-N-1 in Term. You will then find some garbled lines immediately
after modem connect. I think you can still guess what they mean: Host: (type
"CIS" or whatever access you use), UserID: (type yours), password: (type
yours). After that (strange, I admit) login procedure CIS will greet you with
readable text again. Maybe you can set "Strip bit 8" in Term serial to get
clean text from start. I heard that but never tried.
Hope that helps,
