Thanks for your input on the XEP80.  I have a few questions about 80 column 
drivers:
 
- Can the XEP80 display crisp 80 column text on a 13" color TV?
 
- Can the XEP80 display ATASCII graphics (the ATASCII character set)
On a mono/amber screen monitor? (Or if I were using an XEP80 with a  mono
monitor, would I need to use ASCII translation when modeming?)
 
- There is a PD 80 column driver I am sure you have seen that sets up 80
columns o the screen. But this won't work with, say, BOBTERMwill it?  Upon
loading of BOBTERM wouldn't the 80column
handler cause some sort of crash??
 
Thanks!!
