Try VT-100/128 v2.1 (an updated and vastly superior version of the program
you have used that came with the 1670), DesTerm 128 v2.0, Dialogue 128 v2.2
(commercial) or C-64/128 Kermit v2.2 (runs in 64 mode but can use the C-128's
extra speed and 80-col. screen).

QTERM is a great PD term for CP/M.  David Goodenough, the author, has a C-128
and has patched it to work for the C-128.  He has also patched it to work with
the SwiftLink-232 so that you go above 1200 bps.  You can contact David at:
