Some questions:

1) Does anyone know of a tape drive to use for hard disk backups. I have an   
   ST-251 drive (41 meg), using CCS program 'Quarteback'. It works fine but 
   I'm a little tired of the floppy shuffle (already I'm up to 10 diskettes
   for 1100+ files totaling about 9 meg). Supposedly you can hook up a SCSI
   drive to the controller (say one of the MAC-type units). Has anyone done
   so? Please give some details and experience.

2) Has anyone put ARP successfully onto a hard drive system? Does it also
   have to be on the boot floppy? My startup-sequence on df0: has just
   enough info to get the hard disk going (Binddrivers,FastMemFirst, cd DH0:,
   execute DH0:s/HD-Startup). HD-Startup is my startup exec to get me in
   my environment (GOMF, ConMan, does ASSIGNs, etc.).

   The problem I have is that it gives funny reactions (I can't give exact
   examples at the moment since I can't remember them), but it's a shame
   because I did use it when I only had floppies, and It worked fine then, 
   but not since the installation of the Seagate. 

3) Can anyone give suggestions on a GOOD terminal program...one that will
   support all of the following:
          -- VT100 emulation
          -- Interlace mode
          -- Mucho download protocols
          -- Resetable screen colors
   I'm kind of tired of switching back and forth between COMM 1.34 and 
   VT100 v2.8 (which I only use on one service, PORTAL).

   All help is appreciated.
