DATA is the correct generic digital mode to use with TQSL.  The  
following are also accepted:  AMTOR, CLOVER, FSK31, FSK441, GTOR,  
HELL, HFSK, JT65, MFSK16, MFSK8, MINIRTTY, MT63, OLIVIA, PACKET,  
PACTOR, PSK125, PSK31, PSK63, Q15, RTTY and THROB (I am not even sure  
what all of these are).

Joe is supported and is WordStar-like.  It actually has a pico clone  
(jpico), but that is not supported by TLF.  It probably wouldn't take  
many changes to the code to use jpico, but I haven't tried it.

10.  A GUI mode -- It would be nice to be able to use it in console  
or GUI.  I really like N1MM.  Maybe this would be a model to  
construct it on.  Again, there should be a dumb dumb mode for this  
too as some of our club members even complain that N1MM is too  
complex (a windows app).

Have you tried xtlf?
