I think I have Joe's Terminal stuff.  I have written it into C and it goes
really well.  I haven't tested it yet so .. (lets say, if I were Acorn) ... 
its ready to go.  Anyone wanting it early I might send it to, if I get lots of
replys then I might stay up late and then post it to Newcastle.

The last thing I remember is it dropped a char or two at 19200 baud, and the
configuration (although menued) was still hard coded.  There is also a problem 
when the user of the terminal types things like taskwindow, and the alerts are
sent to the desktop - it can quickly turn into a small game of annoy the other
user.
