I've tried ST-TERM, FLASH, and AnsiGraf so far and wound up buying
AnsiGraf.  My local dealer is great about letting me try software packages
before buying them and loaned me his dealer copy of Flash for several days.
The big difficulty I had with it is that it wouldn't support my local editor
(Ked on a pdp11/73).  It also did not work at 9600 baud even though the serial
line was supporting XON/XOFF.  It didn't let me do line breaks (inserting a cr)
in emacs on our PRIME.  Yeck.  I don't know what version this was as it was
a dealer demo and perhaps this sort of stuff has been fixed on later releases.
Flash worked fine when I tried calling a few bbs.  AnsiGraf worked perfectly
with both Ked and emacs and also works at 19.2 k baud!  I prefer white letters
on a black background and the documentation with AnsiGraf is on beautiful
glossyy
paper and spiral bound.  It also does tektronix 4014 graphics viewable at
the same time as the vt102 display.  I think Flash is great for bbs'ing but
for use on my computers in the lab it wasn't that useful.  As I said in another
letter, I haven't run into any problems in the last 6 days with AnsiGraf and it
took me 2 hours to reject Flash and 2 minutes to reject ST-TERM.  I would
love to see a version with tek4105 capabilities but I'm prepared to wait.
But not too long I hope.
