 I tried a comm program (a version of Kermit with vt100 emulation,
written in Turbo Pascal. I think Columbia might have it; it's called
QK-Kermit here, anyway.) and it seemed to work OK. That is, it worked
the way that I expected to, except that it was so insanely slow that
I got mad and killed it. (Slow means: on a 1200 baud line MUCH slower than
a real term program running @ 300. Aack!) Brain hurt.

While we're on the subject.  Has anyone out there managed to get the 
transformer to work with a 68010 in the machine?

I tried Cosi Tango (AKA Synchrony) on my beast before I sold it. 
Like the others, slow as sh*t, virtually useless. Transformer
was a pretty bad joke (i think)
