Could someone please tell me where I can get a terminal emulator for my 8-bit atari? I currently use whatever is handy (XE-Term, amodem 9.5, or hometerm), but they don't work too well when talking to the UNIX at the university. I've heard people mention a VT100 emulator. Where do I find it? I currently have an XM301 modem, but will likely get a hayes or similar 1200 baud the first (cheap) opportunity I find. Any help would be appreciated. --Tim Charron --tpcharron@watmath.waterloo.edu

VT10SQ and Kermit is available on most BBS's and on GEnie, and CIS, or your local user group should have one of them in there library. -- -Marc L.

I have the XM301, a 600XL, ... and at work at SUN 3/50 & Haynes 1200. Sure could use a nice emulator...... -- "Beware the babble problem!" || James W.

One of which is the VT10^2 80 column vt100 emulator, which uses a graphics mode to show 80 columns. It has some drawbacks: can't generate '~', '}', or '{' nor does it work well with a color monitor. -- Eric Griswold Quote: 3 more of these will make a gallon Path: {decvax!microsoft, ihnp4, ucbvax!ucscc}!sco!ericg Disclaimer: It's all my fault, SCO had NOTHING to do with it.

Chameleon is the best terminal emulator I've seen for the 8 bit Ataris. It's also very cheap. Go for it. -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!seismo!soma!uhnix1!sugar!peter (I said, NO PHOTOS!)

I have the XM301, a 600XL, ... and at work at SUN 3/50 & Haynes 1200. -> Sure could use a nice emulator...... This question comes up on the net *ALL THE TIME*. I'm sure if you guys search back to previous articles you'll find all kinds of recomendations. I use Chameleon ver. 4.03 (I'm using it right now). It's great! It supports Xmodem and Kermit. It even comes with a termcap entry for use with UNIX. I've got an 835 modem but Chameleon supports many others including the XM301. Chameleon can emulate a Glass TTY, ADM-3A, DEC VT-52, IBM 3031, ASCII, and a Test Terminal. I use it in a mode called VT-52XL (the termcap entry is for this). Don't let this fool you... you don't need an XL machine to use it. I have an old 800. Chameleon can be found in the Antic Catalog for $19.95. It's well worth the money!
