Greetings, fellow Apple users.

I have an unenhanced Apple //e with 1200 baud modem that I use mainly
for communications.  My communications (serial) board is the Alphabits
card from Street Electronics.  This card is supposed to emulate the
serial port on the //c.  I currently use ASCII Express Pro (I'm not sure
of the version number, but I got it quite a few years ago) and Kermit
V3.79 when I need vt100 emulation.  Kermit works fine when I dial up
an IBM system with a 7171 front end, but on any system where scrolling
is done (i.e. VMS or Un*x) some characters are lost.  Also, the vt100
emulation on Kermit is not complete - it doesn't work too well with EDT
on VMS.

Are the new versions of Kermit any better?  v 3.79 is quite buggy.  Are
there new versions of AE Pro with vt100 emulation, or at least better
macros?  I also have a CP/M card, so if you know of any CP/M terminal
programs...

Thanks in advance.
