I just got MicroPhone II from my local Egghead, and already seem to have a situation that can't be remedied...here it is: I HATE the way it sends data to the screen. It does it line by line. that is, it gets a line of information from the modem, THEN displays it to the screen. The result is a display that jumps line by line. I use to use, and am back to using, VersaTerm Professional becuase as it gets the data, it displays it....smoother, and easier to read. Is there a way that I can tell MicroPhone to do this? I can't find it in the manual, and there does not seem to be a place in the program to do it...

I like the way it updates the screen since I always run at 9600 bps. It can receive data MUCH faster than Microphone I or any other Macintosh or IBM+Windows terminal emulator I've seen. I can see how it might be annoying at 1200 bps. One thing you could try is to use scripting to make yourself a command to put you into character- update mode, using "send local" and "nextch". You'd only implement (yourself!) a small subset of VT100 commands, and only use it when you were scrolling lots of data on the screen. In full-screen editing, I think Microphone II's method of updating is better even at slow speeds. Another solution is to sell it and use your other terminal emulator. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My opinions are my own.
