(I have no idea how to mail a message to Martin, since he is on BITNET.)

I would strongly suggest that anyone who wants to use an Amiga as a
terminal should get a copy of Dave Wecker's VT100 emulator.  It runs
very fast (no noticeable display lag).  Best of all, it can be used with
a generic vt100 termcap.
