 I use BTPro, but I added a few of the sequences that the program originally
left out. With the changes, the emulation seems to work without a problem..
I've used it on an online network, on a few Unix sites, and on our local
University's VMS and it never failed me..if you're interested in the mods that
I made (or if people would rather it be posted on the net), just leave me
mail.
