Unfortunately, one of the most important specifications of a VT-100
is an 80x24 screen.  Unless you purchased an 80-column board for the
Model III, this makes it ineligible for true VT-100 emulation.

There might be a VT-100 subset available for the Model III in the
public domain, but it would not be very good.  If you have a modem,
try checking Guy Omer's BBS at (904) 377-1200 (300-2400 bps, 8/N/1,
TRS-80 graphics on).

Find a copy of Omniterm, put out by Lindberg (SP?) Systems. They used
to be in Ann Arbor, MI. Radio Shack used to carry Omniterm in their
Express catalog. It has a VT100 emulation mode.
