I'm considering buying a terminal for home use, but I also have an ST in
my plans too.  My question is: are the vt100 emulators for the ST good
enough to do a lot of work on?  Do they properly handle inverse video,
"curses" curser movement (I'll be working on Unix systems), and how
effective are they when using Emacs?  Do they have file transfer capability
or at least buffer capture?

I'll be using a 1200 baud modem, will there be much difference in speed
between a terminal and the emulators at that speed?

I'd appreciate hearing your comments on the different emulators that are 
out.

Thanks in advance,
