Greetings,


 I would like to know how the TRS-80 Model 100 can be most effectively used as

 a terminal.  I successfully used the internal 300 baud rate modem to login to the

 school computer.  However, the M100 appears not to recognize some transmitted 

 characters and uses a block cursor in its place.  Furthermore, the M100 40 column

 format is somewhat of a inconvenience.  I would like to know if


           o  There are any commercial programs to emulate VT100 terminals
              and the kermit communications program ? 

           o  If not, then what is the best terminal, communication software
              combination ?

           o  If there is a ROM based system for permanently making the M100 
              into 80 column format ?

           o  Will it help to use say a 1200 baud modem in place of the built
              in 300 baud modem ?


 I am relatively new to the M100 scene and hope that some more experience users can

 help answer some of these questions.



 Thanks in advance
