Can anybody help me with the DA called VT100?  It sounds like what I want,     
but I can't get it to work!  I discovered it on usenet comp.binaries.mac,      
downloaded it, unbinhexed it (trying both v 4.0 and 5.0, in case that          
matters?), and then un-PackIt-ed it.  Result:  a da vt100 and a font vt100.   
I installed both with font/da mover (I tried both orders of doing that).     
I restarted the mac (to be sure).  Invoking vt100 da then displays              
alert box:  you must install vt100 font, then refuses to run.                  
                                                                               
Did I do something wrong?  Is there some trick with redit to match           
resource and/or font numbers?  Was there a bad version of vt100 posted     
on usenet?  Help!                                                           
                                                                               
I mailed the poster:  rmonsen@bbn.com, but the mail gets bounced:  unkwon     
unknown user.                                                                  
                                                                               
                                                                               
VT100 sounds like the best contender for what I want because it
has what I need (9600         
baud, vt100 emulation) and is very small (11K) and is a da (which is nice).  
Of course, I've never seen it run...
