The reasons UniTerm works with a seperate display for the VT100 emulation:
 
                     - best possible VT100 emulation
                     - full 80*24 screen with large characters
                     - speed
 
UniTerm was written for people which use a terminal to work and not just for
up-and downloading from BBS's. If we ever get a ST with 1024x1024 resolution
I might make a windowing version, but some graphic hardware support would be
essential. BTW I have used MacKermit on an ST and Mac and I'm not that
impressed (the Kermit implementation is very slow and your eyes start hurting
after an hour). Anyway what about wearing a watch?

PS: try using MacKermit with EDT or any DEC (tm) program which needs
    a real VT100!
