Hmmm, I've never had any problems with Hyperterm. As long as the real
port settings match the SSC, it works fine. Perhaps the trick is to
set the ports outside of the terminal program. I adopted this habit in
Win 3.1 and have never had any problems.

Now that Apple Oasis has full screen support as well as way cool serial
port control, I will probably use it and SLINK more often than any other
methods. It's so easy to copy a file to an emulator disk via Disk Manager.
I can put most of my downloads, if not all of them, on a HD image. SLINK
my Apple drives as needed and go to work.
