When I use AMODEM or any other terminal emulator program which uses
the Atari's normal 40 column display, I have much difficulty in
reading the output.  Does anyone know how to tell UNIX to fold the
lines at 40 columns? Perhaps there is a termcap; perhaps a stty
command?

Probably it would be useful to go back to 80 column mode when doing a
file transfer. On the subject of file transfer, does anyone know of a
wel tested XMODEM for UNIX? I'd like to uses AMODEM with reliable
transfer if possible.

Normally I use VT10SQ to get 80 column display, but it lacks any file
transfer. Is there a VT-100 emulator with file transfer? That would be
another way of solving the problem.

Sincerely,
