        Thanks for the help re MacTerm's answerback msg.  Since I posted my
original note, I've observed several different MacTerminal 1.1 responses to
the terminal id query (ESC [ c).  I haven't any idea why the responses
vary, but here's what I've seen so far when I've sent the query from a
Unix login script (9600 bps, 7 bits, no parity, no flow control, printer
port [modem port occupied by hard disk]):

		ESC [ E ; V
		ESC [ ? 1 ; 2 c
		ESC [ E { V
		
		(nil)

The first response is what I see most of the time, but the others also
occur.  As you pointed out, the second of these happens to be the standard
VT100 terminal id, and is invariably the response I get if I send out the
query AFTER I've successfully logged on to the Unix system (when I've
switched to 8 bits/char).

        Is there a logical explanation for any of this weird behavior?
