I challenge you to name one way in which Oasis will improve Joe's FTP or
Telnet access.

As for the original problem, there is an auto folder patch program which
gives the ST ANSI emulation (very similar to VT100) alongside its existing
VT52 emulation.  I think it's called something like ANSI_ST, and it should 
be available from most Atari FTP sites.  (NOS crashed horribly after I
installed it, possibly due to some auto folder conflict which I could never
be bothered resolving.)

These are definitely worth checking out, but calling them "full" may be a
violation of the Trades Descriptions Act.  (:  I wouldn't expect miracles
either - an ordinary ST doesn't really have the screen resolution to run a
decent browser.
