	It is NOTHING like MicroPhone II v3.0.  Software Ventures currently
has two products on the market, MicroPhone and MicroPhone II.  MicroPhone is the
entry level communications product while MPII is the high-end product which is
getting all the development work.  We currently only bundle MicroPhone with 
modems, but there is always an upgrade path from MicroPhone to MicroPhone II.

	If all you need are the PF1-PF4 that the VT100 uses, then Macknowledge
uses the same mechanism that MicroPhone, Smartcom, etc. uses which is to map 
th Mac keypad to the VT100 keypad. This then equates the Clear.=,/, and * t
the PF1-PF4.  (MPII v3.0 also has a new TearOff Keypad menu for thos that don't
have a keypad or can't remember where the PFKeys are).  If you are talking to
a 327x or other system which uses other PFKeys then you have to use scripts/
macros since they are not part of the VT100 set.  Usually they are emulate
using the ESC follwed by th # of the key (ie. PF5 = ESC5).  You can do this
in Macknowledge, but there is no keybinding without usijng menuKeys.

	Please post your own review of the software, I am curios to see how a 
real user of the product feels abou it.
