----------

The initial Series 100 was the 125 and it's midget brother,
the 120.  Both of these do not need any 'Terminal' program
at all - they are both 100% fully capable HP compatible
terminals in their own right.  If you power the system up
and it comes up into CP/M and the original 'WELCOME' screen,
sinply choose to exit to CP/M and then press the 'MODES'
key.  I htink it is key [f4] that says LOCAL OP SYS and
key [f5] that says REMOTE.  Press [f5] and you are a terminal.

The same is true for the next gen Series 100 from California
at least, the 150.  

If you have a Portable system (the 110 or the Portable Plus)
they, too, have built in terminal software, so no additional
stuff is needed.

NOW...... if you want a vt100 emulation, it's a different story.
I don't believe any vt100 was ever done for the 125/120; hp used
to sell one for the 150.

If it's file transfers you want (ASCII only), there was a program
for the 120/125 called LINK/125 and later, Advancelink/125.  I
probably have copies of these around somewhere if anyone is
desparate enough to want them... let me know.
