A couple weeks back I posted a message asking if the ST, used as a
terminal emulator, could properly handle inverse video, "curses" intense
programs (like maybe rogue), and my favorite editor Emacs.  Since I got
a number of messages from people who also wanted to know that info I'll
just summarize the responses here.

First off, "Thanks!" to all the people who took the time and effort to
answer my questions.  

I got five messages from people who are using Mark of the Unicorn's
PC/InterComm emulator.  It handles all the "features" I was looking for
plus it can handle Kermit, XMODEM, and ASCII file transfers.  A common
remark has been "I can't recommend this software enough".  Other features
are programmable function keys and an excellent manual.

I also received responses from people using the built-in VT52 emulator
that is "good enough for Emacs and other UNIX work".  One thing about 
this s/w is that you should use a modified termcap entry (available on
the net).

Thats the only two emulators that people have reported, but at least my
question was answered - the ST is quite usable as a terminal and that
sure makes a great excuse for buying one :-)

I was recently demonstrated a graphics terminal emulator, AnsiGraf
by Grafikon.  It seems very complete and reliable.  I am told it
should be ready for release very soon.  The persons to contact
for more information are ravi@eneevax.umd.edu and gyuri@eneevax.umd.edu
