I just bought the Online! terminal emulator.  It is definitely
braindamaged.  It breaks in vt100 mode when inserting new lines, and if
anything is in column 80.  I haven't been able to break the vt52
emulation yet, but I've only had the program three days.  I am trying
to talk to a Vax running BSD 4.3, using vi.  With the exception of
emulation (why I bought it) the program works fine.  It has features to
do auto downloading, and supports XMODEM protocol.  I plan to use it
for downloading, then edit locally using my Manx vi-like editor (which
doesn't have search/replace!).

The only other programs I have seen are A-Term, which I know nothing
about, and Maxicomm, which I have heard is truly brain-dead.

If anyone knows of a termcap that won't break Online!, please post it!
If anyone knows of a FULLY TESTED, GUARENTEED vt100 emulator, PLEASE
let me know!

Thanks,
