  I keep reading all these questions about VT 100 emulation and wonder where
the problem is.
  I've been using Kermit with no real difficulty.  I have an Apple IIGS with
an Apple Personal Modem connected to the modem port on my GS.  I was able
to get it by uploading it from Apple2-L as a text file using a capture
buffer with Mousetalk.  After a couple of questions answered by Murphy
Sewall, it was installed and working.  The function keys are easily
emulated using a section of the keyboard along with the open-apple
(cloverleaf) key.
  I'm still using version 3.79 because I've been too lazy to upgrade and I've
also been waiting until I hear that the mouse support is worth the trouble.
In the meantime, aside from a few inconveniences because of the keyboard
layout, I find it a pleasure to use.  (The most serious lack I find is the
lack of macros which would enable me to automatically log on.)
