This is a word in praise of crosstalk XVI (rev 3.41).  I am using an
IBM-pc with a hayes 1200B modem and going dialup to a DEC VAX 11/780
running UNIX (berkely 4.2).  Previously I was running SMARTCOM II and
while this worked fine for file transfers, it has no emulation
function and I was limited to being a "dumb" terminal.
 
With crosstalk 16, full vt100 emulation is available for the pc.
I am happy to report that with vt100 emulation in effect, all
terminal functions (including vi) work as well as a real vt100
hard wired to the host.
 
File transfers to and from the host work as well as SMARTCOM II, and
they operate while in emulation mode or out of it.  Emulation can be
changed while on-line to any of the emulations available: VT100, VT52,
Televideo 910/920, IBM 3101 ASCII, Adds Viewpoint, or Texas Instruments
940.
