Speaking of Zterm, I use it and think it is an excellent program. However, I recently upgraded (?) to System 7.0.1. Now I notice that whenever I use Zterm and the Monitors control panel is set to 256 colors, there is a significant delay in clearing the screen. I use a 2400 baud modem to connect to my univeristy mainframes. For example, when I finish leaving this message, and go on to read the next article, trn, our newsreader, will clear the screen. However, I may receive almost enough data to fill half the screen before the screen clearing routine is complete. Bing! Half a screenfull pops up instantly, then the rest fills in at normal 2400 bps rate. This didn't happen at all with System 6.0.8, and isn't as bad with the Montiors set to 16 colors. Is System 7 slow, is Zterm to blame, or should I simply not be running System 7 on a Mac II with the 8-bit Toby video card?
