I've been playing with a ST loaned from ATARI for this week, including the developer's kit. Having a lot of fun breaking the C-compiler, finding out that the vt52 emulator only works so-so, benchmarking, the usual stuff. The machine clearly has a huge amount of potential waiting to be mined. The problem for me is that I need a good terminal emulator with graphics right now to make the buy (we're talking 6 or 8). Since initially we will be running these guys under UNIX we don't care if they are vt100 emulators or whatever, so long as they have standout mode, clear screen and cursor motions. As for graphics, we are fairly device independent through an extension to termcap/terminfo, and can run Tek graphics, HP, anything sensible. So far I haven't managed to track down a good terminal emulation program. I would be pleased with any of the PC programs such as PC-LINK III. Any leads?

Only problem is i cant remember who makes it but your local atari store should be able to help you. -- god bless Lily St. Cyr -Rocky Horror Picture Show Name: James Turner Mail: Imagen Corp. 2650 San Tomas Expressway, P.O.
