I've noticed too that VT100 v2.9 can't keep up with 9600 bps and it also eats more CPU cycles than DNet with 2 fterms at 19200 bps. So no reason to use VT100 ;-) If you still need vt100 emulation there's a program called Niftyterm on Fish #403. It runs under DNet and seems to be quite good emulation (at least better than VT100 or NCSA Telnet on Mac...). There's also good termcap for amy (to use with DNet's fterm) made by Hannu Napari, (napo@niksula.hut.fi). -- This msg is sent by: Ari Yrj|l{ // Internet: ayrjola@hut.fi Address: JMT 3B 231b // BITNET : LK-AY AT FINHUT 02150 ESPOO ,Finland,Europe :: // VoiceNet: +358-(9)0-468 3088 ______________________________________://------------------------------
