The PD VT100 emulator available for $10.00 through Antic is indeed
VT10SQ. It's not bad but fairly inflexible and a bit tough on the
eyes at times. It's not quite a full emulation, but it does in a
pinch when I can't tolerate Chameleon's horizontal scrolling. Again,
the documentation is on the back side of the disk as it is with
Chameleon. I also have the TEK4010 emulator, but have not used it
extensively yet... just a bit. It does seem to work as advertised
but documentation is basically non-existent...
Regarding the problem with Chameleon not believing that it can dial
those numbers, I called Antic's service people... (I had tried about
every switch setting I could think of)... They said that it probably
was just because the modem was 100% Hayes and I could exchange Chameleon
for something else if I wanted... (No way!) Chameleon won't hang up
the phone for me either. I can cope with both problems. When it tells
you that it can't dial that number, <escape> into the main menu and
START communications. Chances are it really is dialing (and you can
see it do so if you <esc>START fast enought). It's just lied to itself
and won't start communications of its own accord. Then when I'm done,
I simply do the +++ and ATH by myself instead of having Chameleon do it.
It's a small price to pay for Chameleon's flexibility...
Once again, if you have any questions that I might be able to answer,
feel free to contact me.
