Please recommend if you can a terminal emulator package for remote
Emacs execution.  I have a Turbo-XT class PC and a 9600-baud modem with
data compression (which can reach effective rates up to 17400-baud to
the terminal).  I connect to gnu-emacs.


  -- What's the best emulator for Emacs?

  -- Will I need a faster PC to run it?  (What processor/clock rate?)


I have tried in the past to run Emacs under Kermit's terminal emulation
mode on my XT-clone, with the following problems:

 1) Kermit, or my XT-clone, was too slow to keep up with the high-speed 
    modem.

 2) Kermit did not support mappings for all of the control- and meta-
    (and control-meta-) key strokes that Emacs uses.

I believe that Kermit actually maps the meta- (and control-meta-) key
strokes into 2-byte "escape/character" sequences.  I would like a
terminal emulator that will capture and send the meta bit when I press
the ALT key, which along with 8-bit/no-parity communication, will allow
Emacs to interpret the high-bit as a meta modifier.

Thanks for your help -- Bob
