I have a C64 with a 1670 modem (@1200 baud) emulating a VT52 in simulated-
80-columns.  Very frustrating, for the vt52 program can be finicky.  The
fact that it's 1200 baud adds to the stress.

I want to go 2400 baud, but am afraid that I won't be able to find C64
software that emulates a VT (VT100, preferably) AND does a graphics-
simulated 80 columns.  Plus I understand that a serial interface is
at least $100 on top of the 2400 baud modem's $100.

Is there software available for the 64 that works with a 2400 baud
(Hayes-compatible) modem, emulates a VT100, and simulates 80 columns?
Or should I just get ahold of an actual VT100 terminal?  (Great --
yet another appendage to an already cramped room :-)

Advice, please!  Email replies to:
