There is an absolutely fantastic terminal emulator for the ST in the public
domain. It is called Uniterm, and written by Simon Poole.

It does VT100/VT102/VT200/VT52/Tektronix 4010 emulation, handles xmodem/ymodem
and kermit (both send/receive and server-put/get).

It is *by far* the best terminal I've ever used (including real terminals,
that is).
