ah HAH!!!!   Finally someone admits to the breakage of MacTerminal.  
This is (almost) inexcusable!   I depend on MacTerminal to talk to a whole
LOT (>20) Vaxen and other machines.   I now (if I want to use the current
system, and I *DO* 'cause I am also a certified developer, and MPW and I have
some work to do using the script manager...) have to resort to
using MicroPhone, or RedRyder (the lesser of two evils) if I want to talk
to the rest of the world. I am using MicroPhone right now, and its making my
flesh crawl.

Unfortuately, MacTerminal is the ONLY terminal program that CORRECTLY emulates a
VT100 on a Macintosh.  
By correctly, I mean that MacTerminal will work with _EVERY_ DEC product
and every Unix program that works correctly on a realy vt100.


How soon is "very"?  I am dead in the water (for all practical purposes)
without it...
