Although neither of the two articles said, I suspect they are using Kermit.
The distributed version on VT100 V2.8 has a definite bug in the Kermit support
that I guarantee will turn an Amiga into a mindless slug. I've reported the
bug and and my fix to Tony, but I guess there hasn't been a distribution of
an "official fix".  I'll generate the diffs and post them. I also fixed the
missing 2000 keypad keys so that it now looks like a real vt100 keyboard.
