>Has anyone out there having problems with VersaTerm sending garbage out the

Around version 1.50 I made a couple of changes to VersaTerm that would
allow VersaTerm to coexist with AppleTalk (ie the printer port is not
initialized on startup, but rather whenever you print).

But, don't ever try to "Print Stream..." whenever you are configured to
AppleTalk, the printer port will be initialized to 9600 baud etc.

Sometime in the future, a version of VersaTerm may support printers and or
serve as a virtual terminal on the AppleTalk network.  We will have to see how
the ImagwWriter will fit into the AppleTalk scheme of things.
