Hi, I'm interested in purchasing a new computer, and I have been wondering
about this question, what type of terminal emulation can you get with a Mac, and
what type of software do you use? You see, I'm really going to be doing a lot
of logging onto Unix accounts, and I was just wondering if a Mac II+ or SE
was compatiable with the systems I might be using. I also would like to know if
you have to use any special Termset commands in unix to make the Mac respond
properly? Thanks a lot, and please mail all responses to the address below.

I've got a Mac Plus, and have used both MacTerminal and Red Ryder. For simple terminal emulation, and Mac file transfer, I prefer MacTerminal's VT100 mode. It's rock solid and pretty full featured. Red Ryder has some advantages, such as a nice macro facility, but I found downloading more painful than with MacTerminal (which works well with "macput" and "macget" on UNIX), so I don't use it any more. Caveat: Neither version is the absolute latest and greatest. I haven't tried the new Claris MacTerminal, nor the new (non-shareware) Red Ryder. Either or both may have improved significantly. Some people swear by Versaterm, but I've never tried it. It might be worth a look ... -- Howard A. Landman {oliveb,hplabs}!intelca!mipos3!cpocd2!howard howard%cpocd2.intel.com@RELAY.CS.NET

I need a terminal emulation application to work with TSSnet. I've read that Mac240, VersaTerm-Pro, Red Ryder, and Microphone will work. All I need to do is interact with a VAX running UNIX over an Ethernet network. What features do I need? Which ones can I do without? If you've used any of these applications, particularly in similar circumstances, please tell me how well they worked for you and what was a problem.
