If you would like to call a ProLine system that is being run with a DataLink
modem, the number is: 1 214 370 7056. (300/1200 - 24 hrs).
The DataLink comes with a modified version of Don Elton's TIC (Talk is Cheap)
program. I think everybody knows how good a program that is. The help file
that is currently part of the TIC program was originaly written for the
DataLink modem. Give Pro-Colony a call and I can probably answer any
questions you might have about the DataLink modem.

apple I have a 2E with an AE Datalink using vt52 or IBM 3101 emulators that came with Dataling software. I am having problems using vi editor on unix. It obeys most of the commands but doesn't work well enough to use on line. It brings back stuff I previously deleted and most importantly, it starts at the top of the screen that is already full of text. Is anyone getting proper results from these emulators? Is it me, my system or bad software? I called AE and they were not much help. The Amateur Radio Forum (arf)

I'd say that you should use Proterm. It's the best thing out there.... I know, it's not much help, but if you have a bad emulation driver, there's not a whole lot you can do but re-write it, or patch it. I haven't had any problems with proterm's emulations at all. APTC1%MKVAX1@MSUS1.BITNET

I had the same problem for a while. However, it turns out that if you set your terminal emulation to "Soroc" on both DataTerm and the Unix system you are using, this will work much better than VT52, although still not as well as VT100. For example, when moving up a document in vi, instead of scrolling line by line Soroc scrolls by about half a page. Also you will have to use the hjkl keys instead of the arrow keys (in vi, at least). To set the terminal emulation in DataTerm, press ClosedApple-E and choose "Soroc". To set it on your Unix system, type "set term=soroc". Should work fine. As someone recommended earlier, if this still isn't good enough, you might try ProTERM which has VT100 emulation that works great. Jeff Hartkopf Internet: hartkopf@tramp.Colorado.EDU

Kermit-65's VT-100 seems to do the job for most folks who prefer public domain commware to ProTerm :-) * Internet from the Columbia University CUNIXC System: Effective August 18, 1988, the Kermit files are available on host CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, a VAX 8700 running UNIX (Ultrix). The IP host number is 128.59.40.130. You may get files from it with anonymous FTP. The Kermit files are in directories kermit/a, kermit/b, kermit/c, kermit/d, and kermit/e. You can also send mail to Info-Kermit and Info-Kermit-Request at this address. The process is roughly like this: FTP to CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU, login anonymous (or ftp), any password (we prefer that you use "user@host" for the password, specifying your userid and hostname, for our statistics), and then CWD (or CD) to kermit, which contains a file read.me, which you should read. Then CWD (or CD) to a, b, c, d, or e and GET or MULTIPLE GET (or MGET) the files you want. Note that file names are lowercase, and you must refer to them that way on CUNIXC, even though all the Kermit documentation lists the filenames in uppercase! Since CUNIXC is a heavily-used machine, please try not to FTP files from it during peak hours. There are presently no formal restrictions, so please don't overburden the system. If the response is very slow, cancel your session and try again later. --------------------- You'll need APP385.1 and APP385.2 Also the file APPLE.DOC can be helpful :-) Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)
