I've got an Amiga at home that I currently use Vt100 to call work from
(work == a Unix workstation).  Unfortunately, I have to go through a
network server that eats ^S and ^Q (otherwise it is a 2400 baud, 8-bit data
path).

I'd like to use a smarter terminal program-- Dnet would be great,
X-windows or NeWS would be even better.  Has anybody found a public
domain OR commercial solution?  I think I heard that Ameristar was
selling a NeWS client for the amiga, but I can't find any
advertisement from them.  

It is frustrating having two great machines that can't talk very well
to each other.
