This is not really relevant, but at least it's about the same
program. I have just tried TELEMATE (I think it's version 2.00,
since that's what the documentation says - I got it from SIMTEL). I
like the multitasking feature a lot. However, I shall continue to
use KERMIT as my main comm. program, as the VT102 terminal emulation
is better. Using a program called "SWING" on a VAX machine, which
produces straight lines on a true VT100 / VT102 or under KERMIT, I
found odd looking characters appearing on the screen when I tried
TELEMATE. I've also noticed this with the PCTOOLS VT102 emulation.

It looks like a lot of so-called VT100 / VT102 emulators are missing
something. KERMIT has never given me any problems at all.
