I've been running a test version of the VT-100 emulator, and it works
fairly well. It has a Kermit implementation installed now, but I haven't
been able to test it with my 1030 modem yet. I'll have to second John's
comments though - OmniView works very well and running an 80 column
terminal program is definitely more pleasant than running in 40... Note
that OmniTerm, which comes on the WP disk, is also 80 column and it
speaks Xmodem.

Just an aside - does anyone use the Kermit which came out for the Atari
and 850 interface or 1030 modem? I've got a version for the 850, but it's
no good with my 1030. It's supposed to support VT-52 emulation and does
horizontal scrolling to get 80 columns. (If anyone has the binaries for
the 1030 version, could you let me know? Thanks!)
