Just for the record the product is called "Reflection" with no "s".
It was written by "Walker, Richer, and Quinn", "WRQ" for short.
I believe it now belongs to Attachmate.  My copy is a real antique but 
still works when I need to telnet in from my PC.

Since I've retired, I've had no need for it but it's ready when/if
I do.  It's really nice to have when you get called at some unholy
hour and have to dial in to a computer at work.
