I have a C-64 that I'd like to run in an 80-column mode.  I'd like to
login to my work system from home and use things like vi, so I'll
need 80 columns as well as a telecom program that can emulate 'normal'
terminals.  I have a couple of programs that change the display to half-width 
characters, but the screen is so blurry it's not even worth the trouble.
(I'm using a Sakata composite color monitor, and a friend of mine has an 1802
monitor with the separate chroma/luma inputs and it actually looks okay.)

So, what I'm looking for are suggestions for the following:  a way to have
80 columns and 'normal' (UNIX-recognizable) terminal emulation, and while
we're at it, a recommendation for a 1200 baud modem.  I'm beginning to
feel as though I may have to make the transition from CBM to MS/DOS if
this problem can't be solved, so any suggestions will be appreciated!
