   The last few days I have been trying to use my COCO3 with OS9 level II as
a terminal.  I have a couple of questions as a result:

1) Has anyone done a TERMCAP for the level II windows?

2) Has anyone done a MAP3270 (for tn3270) for the above?

3) It was reported once that erase to end of screen on the second to last line
   of an 80 x 24 window failed to clear the last line.  Was this ever confirmed?
   Has a bypass been found?

4) It was reported once that snow appears on the screen when large amounts of
   system calls are being executed.  In particular terminal program that 
   constantly check for characters with a getstat call cause problems.  I can
   certain attest to this!   I found that adjusting the foreground and
   background colors helps a bit but it's still not great.  Anyone heard any
   more about this problem?

5) What is available in the line of public domain terminal programs especially
   ones which support "standard" terminal types and offer Xmodem and Kermit 
   support?  Also, what about non-public domain programs?

6) I downloaded Kermit from Columbia some time ago.  It works OK but occasionaly
   it crashes my system or causes it to spontaneously reboot.  Anyone had this
   problem?
