Does anyone use their ST as a terminal. How about a good terminal emulator which runs at 9.6K, 19.2K, or even better 38.4K baud. What about screen size, I want some thing larger than 24x80 how about 66x132. Any chance of the Atari ST running UW, the UN*X windowing system for the Macintrash written by John Bruner. I have been look at the ST since it first came out, waiting for more info about the 32 bit box. If I could use the Atari for a terminal at work I it would give me a excuse to get one now. A 520ST monochrome package is now the about same price has a Wyse 60. ------------ thanks, Dan Reading

If the Macintosh hadn't preceded the Atari, there probably wouldn't be any UW available to port... ========== Skip Montanaro ARPA: montanaro@ge-crd.arpa US Mail: General Electric Company Corporate Research and Development P.O.
