Thanks for the idea, but my problem seems to be different...the Amiga
simply ignores *all* user input until there is a pause in the modem input.

Now, I found the source to VT100v2.8a, and I would try to find and squash
this problem myself, except for one thing.  I have Lattice 5.0, and when
I compile VT100v2.8a, the compilation succeeds (no errors; just a few
harmless-looking warnings) but the executable gurus immediately when it
is started up (Guru #3 or #4, I think).

Does anyone have a Lattice-compatible version of the VT100 sources, or at
least know from experience what magic incantations must be used to compile
it with Lattice?  The documentation implies that either Manx or Lattice
can be used to compile it, but I haven't found any specific instructions...
