<MUNCH, MUNCH bug at lunch>

  Has anyone seen or heard of a terminal emulator that'll allow 132 columns
on an ST with a monochrome monitor? ANSI compatability would be nice, too,
but not required.  I really don't think such a beast is available right now
(I've been watching an assortment of rags & BBS's), but is anyone working
on it?  Any rumors that your developement house might begin work on it in
the next 3 months or so?
  I'm thinking about doing this myself if noone with a support plan is going
to, and I'll post it to the world for free if I do, but I'd rather pay
for a program from a reputable software house than write anything that I
know I won't have time to support...
  Not that I'm complaining. I've been using MOTU's PC InterComm with nothing
but good results for awhile now. Good, reliable file transfer, no loss of
data in interactive use, a handy utility for dialing up later, etc.
However, I *need* 132 columns.
  Any pointers would be appreciated, including references to conversations
about friends of second cousins overheard on the 2 AM bus...
Thanks much,   -Leo
