I need a GOOD VT-100 emulator for a ][+; //e; //c - PD or 
otherwise - that can:

1) handle a variety of I/O cards (Super Serial, CCS 7710 a must)
2) does not require a slot outside of the communications card itself
3) supports both keypad and terminal-identification sequences

Softterm 2 (Softronics) and PFS:Access (Personal Software) come to
mind; I know of DCOM but never got it to work.

Experiences and references appreciated.  If you send your comments
to me directly I will summarize for the net.

Thanks to all !

IF any of you know where I can get hold of a vt100 emulator
via mail or ftp....that isn't overly encoded, as I have no
shrink programs, I would appreciate it!

Let me know via e-mail,

KERMIT for the Apple 2 (and other operating systems) does as credible a VT100
as is available.

The files APP386.1 and APP386.2 from watsun.cc.columbia.edu via ftp are
EXECable as is under DOS 3.3 (the 'B' file that's created can be copied
to a ProDOS volume and will BRUN under BASIC.SYSTEM).

Then you can use KERMIT to download BinSCII and ShrinkIT from
BrownVM.Brown.Edu (cd to listserv.193 ;-)

Yes, I totally agree. When I work off my mainframe (at work) from home,
I virtually need a VT100 terminal, and Kermit has allowed me to do that
from home. It has all the keys I need (including those found at the 
numerical keypad portion of the VT100 Terminal for refresh screen, 
window up, window down, insert, pause, goto beginning/end of field, ...etc, 
true VT100 functions) which can't be found in ANY of the other communication
programs I've seen that claims to support VT100 (or a subset thereof).
