Does anyone know of any good terminal emulators for the Apple (II+ and/or IIe) I am looking for VT100, VT125, and If I am real lucky, VT240... I know there is a VT100, but I forgot the name of it.. Keith Sproul Ksproul@Rutgers.arpa PS: I would also like find a graphic terminal emulator that takes advantage of the double hi-res on a IIe -------

SOFTERM has a very nice package of terminal emulators, including the VT100 and I beleive the VT125 (though I could be mistaken about that one). wesm@mitre-bedford

I've found 'Softerm' to provide good VT100 emulation for the Apple II+. It handles the keypad mode well (ctrl-f, 'number'), so DEC's EDT is usable with a little practice. The new version (Softerm II) requires the use of a slot, though, but will emulate more terminals (I think) and handle more 80-col cards. -- -- Rik Faith at the University of Florida, Gainesville UUCP: ..!akgua!uf-csv!uf-csg!rik [Rabbit's choices: freeze, take the chance they won't see you, then bolt.]

Yes! The new Softerm 2 uses a 3-button keyboard expander to provide extended terminal functions like keyboard macros, accessing file transfer menus, special characters and PF keys, etc. This reduces the clutter of control-whatever-it-is usually found with other terminal emulation packages. It also emulates a sizeable number of terminals. Some emulations require 64K RAM (Televideo 950, HP 2622A, Honeywell VIP7801) Speeds are from 50 to 9600 baud, depending on your communications interfaces. It is also one of the relatively few programs that support the Novation Apple-Cat ][ modem at 1200 baud. It reads DOS, Pascal and CP/M disk without additional hardware or software. File transfer protocols included are character, XMODEM/XMODEM7 and Softrans, Softerm's own protocol. A FORTRAN77 source code is also included for implementing Softrans on the host machine. Monthly updates are available from Softerm's dialup computer in Tenessee.
