}I'm not biased, and I seldom agree with anything Marco says, but he (and
}Cal) hit the nail on the head this time.

Could one of you folks mail me or post or something a specific (useful)
thing that online! doesn't do right?  I've used all of the 'big 4'
[vlt, vt100, Online! and AT3] to dial into my SUN workstation at BBN
from my Amiga at home, and generally the VT100 emulation is just not a
problem.  My only criticism of Online!'s vt100 emulation is that it is
SLOW, but in terms of 'decent vt-100 emulation', Online seems to do
OK.  What *is* it that you folks do with your comm programs that so
clearly show up Online's problems?
