|I got Interlink

|forced to abandon Interlink as a loss.  I am now using the vt100 emulation
|"mode ansi" on Flash, and it works fine with "vi" (which I am using to
|write this note).  WithInterlink, I lost my precious arrow curser movement

Hmmm, I use Interlink for dialing into Unix systems quite a bit, but I use
the vt52 emulator. The one time I tried the vt100 it didn't work - at all.
But the vt52 does everything I need (including use of vi and arrow keys). 
The machines I log into allow me to specify my terminal at login, so I 
am satisfied.

Flash is so inexpensive I just might try it, though.
