First of all, thanks to all who responded to my request about PD Tek Emulators.

I received quite a few responses. Except for one, every suggestion for
a PD Tek emulator was to use VLT. I got it & it looks great. I have
also recommended it to a couple of others.

The one response that wasn't suggesting VLT was for exactly what I
wanted in the first place - a Tek Fterm for Dnet.

So despite VLT looking great, FTEK is it:
1) don't have to turn off Dnet.
2) The executable is small - about 19k.
3) even with a 1028 * 720 resolution Tek screen, it only soaks up
about 135000 bytes. That's my kinda of emulator.

Much nicer when you are running a 1 Meg A500 w/ floppies. Lets me keep
my environment intact.

BTW, is anyone collecting other Dnet clients/servers?

Thanks,
