I've managed to get a VT100 emulator working with my direct-connect SX212,
but a strange thing has happened (as strange things are wont to do).  When I
first call into my Unix account at the local university, the software displays
upper and lower case, but as soon as I've entered my password, all I get is
upper case.  More precisely, all lower case letters are displayed as upper case
letters, and any upper case letters are preceded by a "\".  I assume that this
is what is being transmitted by the Unix system, because this sort of thing
doesn't happen when I call a simple BBS.

Does anyone have any ideas?


Also, I previously asked if anyone out there is using an 80-column word
processor, but I didn't really get much response.  Has no-one ever tried the
new AtariWriter, or any of the other wp's available?
