[comp.sys.amiga] modem program for vt100

snovell@umd5.umd.edu (Scott Novell) (10/08/89)

I am having trouble with my Handshake terminal program.  Every once in a    
while the screen will lock up and not allow anything to be typed or the 
mouse to be moved.  I have to reboot my machine to be able to continue 
doing things where I have connected to.  I have version 1.60b, does anyone
know if there is a newer version that might not lock up?
  Also, I am using Handshake to log onto a Unix system in vt100 mode.  Does
anyone know of a different terminal program that supports the vt100 mode as 
well as Handshake.  I have tried jrcomm, Access, and Amic with not perfect 
success.  Any help would be appreciated.

	There has been an update to the Handshake terminal program.  It is
version number 2.12a and it is on Fred Fish disk number 172.  It adds
support for VT102 and VT220, as well as adding ARP requestors, a color
mode, and smooth scrolling.  It is very good, in fact I am using right
now.

	Another good terminal program that I have seen is called VLT, it 
is better than Handshake in some ways for it includes ARexx and Custom 
Macro Script support.  It emulates a VT100 and also a Textronix (sp?) 
40 something.  The most current version is on disk 226.

Hope this helps...

And now for the uninteresting, unoriginal, unfinished .signature!
