Thank you to everyone who has responded to my earlier questions.  I have
in the meantime ordered a Viewmaster 80 board from Aplied Engineering
(the Sup'R'terminal board is a heat-producing monster,as well as being somewhat
flaky.  I am not sad to see it go.

Also I concede to the general consensus about Serial boards over internal modems
(especially since I have just been loaned an external modem)

My thinking on serial boards is the Applied Eng's new Serial Pro (coming out in
approx 2 weeks) which has the advantage of combining features of the Apple
Super Serial card with a clock.  Do people agree with this reasoning?

Also re software.  The consensus seems to be on Softerm 2.  Unfortunately it
lists at 195 and I haven't found it for under 160, also the three key,
"keyboard enhancement" which it includes, sounds like a kludge to me.  Is
there a cheaper distributor than I'm finding.  (Since naming names is
undoubtedly not allowed on the net, I can be reached for real at
(609) 921-7658 or 507 Fine Hall Princeton U. Princeton NJ 08544.

For the time being I'm going to order the serial card, and see if I can make
DCOM 3 and Kermit (which I got from the list archives) work for me.

Thanks for the help,
