      I disagree with this.  I am not going to promote my favorite
but I don't think vt100/128 is a very good program.  I got it when
I got my modem and it didn't work very well.

     this is a big problem with this program.  Xmodem never works.  It
will act like it is working but two hours later you still don't have
anything.

      I never saw a pacth to allow 2400 baud with this.  I could do 1200
but then I am under using my modem.
