Agreed. However, it runs flawlessly at high baud rates, doesn't drop
characters even without flow-control at 2400/4800 baud (I use a
Microcom modem with data compression), and costs only $75. It also
works great under Multifinder, supports TEXT/Binary Kermit, TEXT/Binary
{X,Y}MODEM, MacBinary XMODEM, and does VT100 and VT102 emulation. In
fact, you can tell the computer on the other end that you have a VT220,
and unless the program you're running relies on double-high characters
or something, it should run fine.
Maybe Microphone II is better, but it's not a fair comparison until the
Microphone people cut about $200 off their price...
( I have connection to the Versaterm folks, except as a very satisfied
customer. )
