I have earlier  pointed out shortcomings of Win3 Terminal, WinQVT.

I then went and plunked $256 (with tax) for Microphone II. Alas it
dies with a 'unrecoverble App Error' when I use vi. [Tech support at
Software Ventures confirmed the reverse-line-feed bug in the program]
Lack of online help and a cryptic scripting language were also a
drawback. I did not get to try their 'Watch Me'(R) self learning
scripting tool though.

My local store was out of CrossTalk for Windows... I will be getting
it soon. Anyone have experience with it under Win3. Does it use the
16550? I know no auto-learn in CT. How easy is the scripting language?
How good is the vt100 emulation?

Thank you for your time!
