I once owned AE Pro with the manual (of course) and I was very unhappy with
the emulation.  The only one I could find that worked semi-well was the
Adm3a emulation.  And it had it's faults also.

I tried this.  They told me to do exactly what I was doing with no success.
I'm not sure how they were testing there emulations, maybe AEPro to AEPro but
they rarely worked connected to a unix machine (with appropriate termcap info)

I'm very happy with ProTERM.  I think it's an excellent term program.  One
of the best for the apple line.  I've only had a few problems with it's
emulation.  I wish it had more features such as the ability to edit the
term emulators.  Overall its still one of the best.
