[comp.sys.m6809] VAX terminal emulation for CoCo

EWTILENI@PUCC.BITNET (02/08/87)

Does anyone have a finished package for the Color Computer 3 that will let
me hook my CoCo up to a VAX at 1200 baud?  Right now, I can get on, but
can't use any of the full screen editing or such, so many of the VAX programs
don't work.
 
Something such as VT100 emulation (or any other terminal) would be great, or
a VAX driver file designed to work with the CoCo (I have Color Connection IV
now) would also help.
 
Thanks...

There is a company called CER-COMP (which runs advertisments in the Rainbow)
that makes such a terminal program for the COCO III.  The program is called
DATAPACK III. I purchased a copy as soon as I bought my new COCO III.  It has
VT100/52 emulation, 80/40/32 column screens, the ability to run 1200 baud
communications stright fromthe serial port  with  no lose of data!! Plus so
many other features. In my opinion, it is the best terminal program that has
been made for the COCO. And believes me, I have tried them all. 

- Good luck -
