Does anyone know of a good and COMPLETE VT100 terminal emulator for the IBM?? I have only been looking throught magazines, and havent seen an ad for one. Also, can anyone reccommend a good graphics card. There seem to be a million out there, and I have no idea what kind to get (I will be using a monochrome display at first, but will get an RGB in a few months; and yes, I know the card depends on what applications I will be using it for, but what is good for general use?) Thank-you for any info you can give me, Dan O'Connell

We have been very happy with the Smarterm/PC products from Persoft, here in Madison WI. We use both the VT100 (to talk to VMS and UNIX) and the Dasher 400 (to talk to AOS/VS) versions. We use them for full screen editing (vi, EDT, emacs, SED) and file transfer between hosts in text mode. Both versions can support 132-column screens and error-free and binary transfer, and there is a VT125 version, but I have not used these features/products. I recommend them without reservation. We have no connection with Persoft except as customers. Steve Arnold
