[comp.sys.apple] seeking a terminal emulation program

garyo@ernie.Berkeley.EDU (gary h ogasawara) (03/14/89)

I have an Apple IIe with a Prometheus 1200A modem card.  I'm looking
for a terminal program which supports my modem and does terminal
emulation(vt100 would be nice).  
Public domain or shareware would be good.

I have the comm software by Prometheus: ][ Talk which supposedly
emulates vt52 but has wraparound and cursor problems.

Everything you want (public domain, no less)!

Either email to KERMSRV@CUVMA (note the spelling, no 'E' in the 'SRV' part)

SEND APP385.1
SEND APP385.2
SEND APPLE.DOC

of 'ftp' from 'cunixc.cc.columbia.edu'

Download to APP385.1 and APP385.2 to a fresh DOS 3.3 disk; boot DOS 3.3 and
EXEC APP385.1.  The Prometheus 1200A emulates an Apple Super Serial card-
Hayes Smartmodem combination.

After you've "made" KERMIT385, you can copy KERMIT385, KERMIT.INIT, and
KERMIT.HELP to a ProDOS disk with BASIC.SYSTEM on it (KERMIT385 has to be
BRUN under BASIC.SYSTEM).  Save the DOS 3.3 version for use the next time
there's a new version of Kermit (and you need to download to a DOS 3.3 disk
again).

If you use text capture (or something similar) rather than XModem to make
KERMIT385, I recommend using the first version made to download the files
again and make it once more (just to make sure that some obscure bug wasn't
"captured").

KERMIT385 does a very nice VT100 (perhaps the best available for the Apple 2).
