It would be nice if the program ran on the DHR screen to support other
machines like the IIe/IIc/Laser 128.  After all it would still work on 
the IIgs.  Besides, how many II+ computers have DHR?

It would be nice if the minimum requirements were 64K, a 65C02 or better,
and could run from a 5 1/4 inch drive.  For a new telecom program to be the
"program of the gods," let alone replace proterm, it has to be compatible 
with more than just GS machines, there are a lot of apple owners
that don't own IIGs's.
