Yes, you'll need a terminal emulator in order to use an editor.  All
the modem does is send signals between two computers, it does not
perform any terminal emulation.

I mainly use Chameleon (I think I spelled it right) for working on
mainframes.  It is available from ANTIC for $19.95.  It also includes
a .termcap for use with the vt-52xl's extended codes.

I've been using Chameloen for about 4 months, and I've been extermly
satisfied with its emulation and file transfers.
