I am happily using Softerm 2 on a 64K Apple II+.  I think that you need to
specify this when ordering, however, because the keypad add-on works
differently I believe.  On a II+ you need a free slot, but for later models I
believe that it uses the game port.
 
The program will deal with 40 columns but it is very useful to have 80, as well
as some sort of Upper/lower case mod.  It knows about the shift-key wired to
game port mod, as well as direct to 80 column board mods.  It also supports a
large number of 80 column boards (my Sup'R'Term included, although I believe
long defunct).
 
I don't have their number on hand, but it should be in their ads.  Their technic
al
support people have been prompt and helpful.  I phoned in with a bug in the inve
rse
video for the VT-100 emulation.  They said that the problem was known to them an
d
suggested a patch.  Within a couple of weeks I got a phone call from them to the
effect that they were shipping me new disks with the problem properly fixed.
