  We are considering getting a number of Atari 1040ST to use as terminals
in out department.  I have used a 1040 as a terminal in the past, and am 
quite impressed with the ability to emulate vt100's and tektronics terminals.
I was wonder if some people could send me some information, based on their
expericences, regarding
   1.  the relative merit of this idea
   2.  the possible (best?) emulator programs
   3.  how one can read IBM PC disks on the atari (much of our software
is written for the PC, but I understand that these disks can be read on the
atari.)
