First let me say that my 1670 (1200 Baud Commodore) Modem has improved
my productivity over my 1650. The software that came with it seems pretty
good and the manual, except for a few typos, is exceptionally good.
Nevertheless I'm having some minor recurring problems using it with
UNIX (BSD 4.3). It seems to drop linefeeds (from time to time) while in
vnews. ^U isn't quite correct in "vi" either. I have replaced the modem
once already so am confident it isn't a defective unit. I have similar
problems using the "vt100-128" program and VIPterm when @ 1200 baud,
using the vt100 and VIP termcaps respectively. It may well be I'm
doing something wrong. This is nothing a quick ^L can't fix but it is
still irritating
Is anyone else having these problems? Is there a fix? Again, it has
helped me work a great deal faster but it is so good now that this
minor irritant is really bugging me. Please mail any fixes to the
address below.

Dave,
I have talked to Joe
O'Hara on CompuServe. He wrote the VT100-128 program on your disk. He
says there is a problem with the program regarding the control
characters (moving around in vi). He says there is an update that can
be gotten from Commodore.
I have been trying to get an update, so no luck yet. I am using the
ex editor for this reply.

P.S. I'm using the VT100 program to do this and I'm having trouble with
the tab also. -jm
