I used vt52 emulation with AE before and it worked, but sometimes the apple or something would interpret a space as a tab, so the screen editor looked a bit screwed up. My solution is to use the soroc termcap and to this day, it worked without fail. The steps are as follows. 1) make sure you have 80 columns. 2) after booting, press U then press S. 3) you should now be in the terminal set mode. 4) follow the menu to set input to Soroc IQ-100. (I think it's 4) 5) set output to datamedia. (Probably choice 6.) 6) exit that menu. 7) press U to update macro. 8) after you log on to the host, set termcap to a soroc. 9) for UNIX, type 'term soroc' 10) THAT'S all! In 10 easy steps. ...ihnp4}!mit-eddie!cht ask questions if necessary.
