I'm looking for a vt100 emulator that will work with a 4.77 Mhz PC, and will run reliably at 9600 baud (or better yet, 19200 baud) without flow control. The terminal emulator I use at home (MIRROR III) works fine on my 286 at 2400 baud, but on the PC in my office at 9600 baud, MIRROR is significantly slower than an AT&T 4425 terminal at the same speed. Any suggestions would be welcome, shareware or commercial. I tried the SIMTEL index, but without luck. Please e-mail replies. Thank you. -- Troy Zerr

I have found that MS-Kermit, available from watsun.cc.columbia.edu, works quite reliably as a VT102, VT220, VT320 emulator. Since I had a 286 dumped in my office at work, I've been using MS-Kermit 3.01 as a terminal emulator for accessing VMS, 4.3BSD, 2.10.1BSD, and SysV 3.2 systems. Connections are either direct link, Ungerman-Bass broadband, and various LAT/TCP ethernet boxes. Dumped the ProComm, Polystar, or whatever that came along with the machine. The emulation implementation was the pits which resulted in different set- ups being required for each environment. XON/XOFF flow control is provided since it is part of the VT emulation. I don't understand your comment about no flow control. A VT100 can't support a 9600 baud line without using XON/XOFF flow control. Merton
