I have a terminal package that emulates the fuctions of a vt-52. It will be released on net.sources as soon as the TERMCAP description is prepared. It is able to use *ANY* modem configuration that the P-system is capable of. The emulator is written in 6502 assembly and is about 900 bytes long. Hardware requirements? Apple //e or //c 80 column card in AUX slot. Any modem that Pascal can use. > II: I have been using my IIe to communicate with our local system at > 1200 baud for a year now, and have had real frustrations with > the slowness of the Apple Monitor.

The problem lies in the 80 column support routines in the //e and //c. THEY ARE EXTREMELY SLUGGISH. Keep looking in net.sources, my program will be there soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Me: James Hayes US Snail: P.O.
