fyi...
I have tried a few terminal programs under beta releases of MultiTOS.

Flash 1.6 was totally unusable. It looked as if Flash was trying to
directly access the hardware, and thus ended up competing for characters
with the serial port driver in MultiTOS. On average, there was only about
a 50% chance of getting a character you typed echoed back from the port.

"Freeze Dried Terminal" (I forget what version) showed exactly the same
symptoms.

Interlink worked in so far as sending/receiving characters went, but
it was obvious it didn't handle screen redraws correctly. The presence
of windows from other running programs and from the desktop trashed
Interlinks dialog buffers/windows.

Stalker 3.0 was rock solid. In addition I haven't noticed any speed
"problem" with it.
