ProTERM explicitly requires an ENHANCED //e.  You've got to buy the
enhancement (about $70 mail order from Roger Coats, or similar to have it 
done by a dealer -- at least in my area).  The 65C02 has an expanded
instruction set, handles interrupts, and runs about 30% faster, which
enable it to work at 1200 BPS and up.

TIC (Talk Is Cheap) is shareware that has the same requirement.
