Has anyone seen Applied Engineering's Easylink?  I just got an offer from
them to buy it for $49 because (it says here) I own a Datalink 2400.

The little flyer -- which is the same as the ad you see in magazines --
claims that it can do VT100 emulation.  Does anyone know how well if this
supports a VT100 keypad and more importantly (which I can't check by calling
AE) how good is the VT100?  As good as Kermits?  Or is it buggy like so many
other VT100 emulators.

I, too, am interested in MacroMate.  I spoke with the RWP a few weeks ago
and it _cannot_ record mouse movements and clicks, etc., as can some Mac
macro programs (anyone want to help me convince RWP to add this?)  The
program is a CDA that records and plays back keystrokes.  You can define
ctrl-a to do one thing, ctrl-shift-a to do something else, OA-a a third
thing, SA-a a forth thing, etc.  It sounds very versatile.  I haven't
decided if I'm going to get it or not.  Has anyone used MacroMate?  If
so I'd appreciate someone sending me a summary.

BTW:  I have an Apple //GS expansion card with 1 meg ram on it that I'd
like to sell so I can get a larger card.  If anyone is intersted, I'm
reachable at the the email address, below.

Merry Christmas, folks.  (And good luck on finals, where applicable,
I could use some, for sure......)
