I am using a TRS-80 model 4 computer with my local UNIX system and would appreciate it if anyone could recommend a terminal emulation program. that supports vt100, vt52 or any other reasonable form of terminal. I am currently using Deskmate and find it difficult to work in vi using "open mode". If there aren't any better emulators available, can someone send me a termcap entry for Deskmate? Thanks in advance! -Tim Squitieri INTERNET: theatr01@oswego.oswego.edu

It came with a filter that allows it to emulate an 'h19' quite effectively (haven't had any problems with the full-screen games, ELM or vi/emacs features of this UNIX system). We've ran it at 9600+ but it has a tendency to lose characters at these speeds (could be noise in our wire, too). Anyway, 4800 is fast enough for most applications. It has a KERMIT/INI file that allows automatic dial-out, login, etc. which is a nice feature. It is missing metakeys but we found that the Key-stroke multiplier feature of LS-DOS fills-in just fine in this area.
