Hi,

I'm trying to help get a friend/client set up with a shell account.  He
can't effectively do PPP because all he has is an old Mac Plus.  I agreed
to teach him what he'd need to know about unix to do lynx and pine.

Unfortunately I can't find a terminal program which works well enough. 
True vt-100 emulation would be nice (we were using the comm program in
MS-Works) as would something that would allow either the Option or Fan
key  to use in place of control-key combinations, and arrow-keys, both
essential for use with the two programs I mentioned.  (He hasn't a
keypad.)

Kinda has to be inexpensive (shareware?) or free.

Please *email* any suggestions.

Thanks very much!

Dave
