I have also used ASCII Express (not sure which version) in the past. It doesn't have great emulation but its other features are pretty good. What I would like to do is be able to communicate coherently at 9600 baud while doing vt-100. I am running on an Apple //e. It is an enhanced model (though rev. A motherboard) and I have an extended 80 col. card. Is it possible to do this on my system. Please note that I have been able to do Kermit transfers at 9600 with *no* reported errors. I should add that my interface is a SSC. If you can offer any help with this problem, please E-mail or post at your discretion. Thanks in advance...
