MXB126@PSUVM.BITNET (Michael S. Barthelemy) (04/14/89)
I am looking for software that emulates a VT100 terminal (Or anything which
will enable me to connect up my 130XE with PSUVM) I seem to have some 'Special
Problems.' I have a 130XE with two disk drives (XF551 and Indus GT) a SX212
1200 baud modem a color RGB monitor and a ICD P:R: Connection. I have heard
about the Chemilion (I can't spell) software, but it will not work with my
P:R: connection. Thus I have been stuck with using the 850 Express! software
which came with my modem. This means that I have a 40 column screen and no
cursor control (which I sorely need). If anyone out there can help me please
drop me a note!
Thanx,
Mike Barthelemy

Mike Barthelmy wrote asking for VT100 emulation software; this question sure
comes up a lot!
Mike, you would probably find Kermit65 (John Dunning's port from the C64)
satisfactory. It emulates the VT100 in both screen and keypad, and has a
lot of other nifty features besides: several selectable different display
modes, Kermit file transfer...
Kermit65 comes either "with the standard Atari R: handler (for the 850)
prepended," or "WITHOUT the... handler..." If you get the LATTER, you
can also obtain and pre-load (or prepend to Kermit65 itself) a handler
that will let you plug an SIO cable directly into the SX212 and use it THAT
way. This method allows full Kermit capability just as though you were
using a standard modem on the 850 Interface..
If you want more details, post to the Net; I probably ought not be posting
from this username, as I am no longer a student. I can be reached on the
Net with less paranoia on my part, at

This is strange.... the 'Chemilion' DIDN'T work with the P:R:? I had a home-brew Rverter and that program worked for me. In fact, I got 850 express to work and just about ANY 850 program with the one exception of the vt100sq program. Have you tried KERMIT? If you haven't, I would recommend it highly. If you have ftp access (in any way... ie: friends...), KERMIT is available over the net... Scott D. Yelich scott@cs.odu.edu [128.82.8.1]
