VT100 is great, so is dropshadow, however:

   When you run VT100 on a machine on  which dropshadow is also running,
It keeps on saying 
took signal 40000000 
This is also transmitted to the host computer. This is nasty.

Other things with VT100: when there is (say) a file transfer requester up,
and something goes wrong (things do...) There is no way of aborting cleanly.

You can click on done, which gets rid of the requester, and then you're
stuck. You can select menu items and click on the close window gadget to
your heart's content, but nothing happens. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING. I have to
reboot to get my serial connection back in this case.


As I said, vt100 is a great program but the above bugs make file transfers a
headache and scream inducing experience.
