I haven't learned how to use macput, macget etc., so for file transfers
I use the new Columbia Kermit. Works wonderfully, and is almost vt100
compatible as well. Only reason I don't use kermit when reading news etc.
on a remote host is that the national keys are all wrong. My copy of
MacTerminal has its keys mapped to accomodate for the Swedish national
characters, and I have only two complaints about MacTerminal:
1) When logging text, it often complains: "the disk is full. no more
text will be saved", when there are more than 300 k left on the hard disk!
2) If I am connected to a remote host and choose the menu alternative
for using XON/XOFF protocol, MacTerminal invariably shuts down the modem
line.
General complaints about all terminal emulators except MacTerminal: there
is no way to remap national characters on the keyboard.
