1xxxxx (excuse blank msg 26...my first attempt at this)...'thought I would 
relate my weekend experience with the COMMODORE 64-term emulator,vs A. Ray
Millers version; when logging into vax/unix, I found that the 64-term worked
at 300 but could not keep up at 1200( however it does work at 1200 when used
keyboard-to-keyboard). It's big advantage(at 300) was that I could log into
the vax...create a "vi" file and leave it open..waiting for text....then 
press stop/restore  PRINT#2  (might have to type it twice if you get an
"illegal quant error")  CLOSE2    (now you're back to conventional features
on the c64)  you can now load any disc program or index whose "LIST" you want
written into the vax file (perhaps to print out a copy)    then OPEN2,2
CMD2  LIST and the c64 will send out the LISTing. When it is finished (I 
added a couple of LED send, recv indicators on my VICMODEM 1600 so I could
note the activity)...   contr-shift-[  (will work as ESCAPE) to stop writing
..whoops I goofed...I might goof trying to edit this so disregard the last
contr-shift-[....so after the activity going out on the modem ends, 
press stop/restore  PRINT#2 (twice if necessary)  CLOSE2  then again LOAD
"64-TERM",8 (if it isn't on the disc presently being copied, insert it first)
  RUN  (now we're back talking to the vax that was left still waiting for 
anything more .....now the contr-shift-[  (constitutes ECAPE) will close
the vi file and return you to the host % prompt. You can now "cat filename"
to verify that it came thru ok. The "64-term" is not suitable for vi editing

  On the other hand A. Ray Miller's "UNIXTERM-1.0" works fine in vi and 
at 1200 baud  BUT I could not succeed with it in writing to a file because
I was unable to transfer back and forth between terminal mode and conventional
mode....when in "terminal" mode, a stop/restore yields "baud? xxx and hangs
everything up there (the only way I ever got out was to power-down).
