What I'm looking for is a terminal that supports vt100 emulation (TRUE vt100, with backspace instead of ^H) and, preferably, zmodem. Backscroll would be nice, too. I don't want anything that's GUI. Reason? Because it slows it down considerably, especially at 14400 baud. The graphical text can't display as fast as a plain old text window can. Full-screen is also NECESSARY - no pitiful little 80-columns-in-1-inch windows. Does anything like this exist, or am I looking for too much? TE/2 sounds like what you're looking for. It's available on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Only problem is, even though it's the best I've found so far, even in full screen mode it has trouble keeping up with 14.4k with compression, on a 386sx-16 :) Anyone got a really good, fast vt100 emulator with zmodem and support for 50 or even 57 line screen mode for OS/2? Oh, one other thing, TE/2 has a setup option for backspace/del, but ^H is theoretically the correct vt100 action. However, I have it set up as del. :) -- -Chris Shabsin -shabby@athena.mit.edu -member, SIPB, PWLCSBHNM, MITMB, VWA, MITCC, PWN, LSI -"You got the power, you got the might, get ready for battle, beat that Black Knight!" -Black Knight pinball game...
