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. Rick

[line eater food] While we're on the subject. Has anyone out there managed to get the transformer to work with a 68010 in the machine? Ross

Like the others, slow as sh*t, virtually useless. Transformer was a pretty bad joke (i think) ======================================================================== _____O_____ Ed Chaban /___________\ Plexus Computers Inc. | _ | _ | Phone: (408) 843-2226 | |_| | |_| | Net: sun!plx!ed | _ | _ | | |_| | |_| | | _ | _ | | |_| | |_| | "Have a Jelly Baby?" | | | -The Doctor |_____|_____| *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
