I have had longer delays getting thru to companies on the fone! The 3.0 upgrade is well worth it. Windows now move/expand instantly with the mouse. NO delay!! It also comes with ksh (Korn Shell) and umodem. One small problem, the man pages describe a program called scrnset which is supposed to provide a screen timout feature, but the program is missing. The term emulation program is expanded also. It now has file capture to disk and/or printer while in emulation mode. It is still very slow, tho. Connected to my 3b2 at 9600 baud, it's thruput is still about 2400 baud on the screen. Too slow to replace a terminal at 9600 baud. -- .. that's the biz, sweetheart...
