[Line-eaters aren't user friendly] 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. -- -"Daphnia Dave" Fetrow { ihnp4, fluke, tektronix, uw-june }!uw-beaver!entropy!fetrow :UUCP entropy!fetrow@uw-june.arpa :ARPA

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. Jere M.
