the problem you have is that white knight is slow.  there _are_ term
programs on the mac that are as fast at proterm.  the pb160 can also be
slowed down by putting it in grayscale mode.  going to b&w will speed you
up. 

proterm is still my favorite, though.  has anybody  heard anything else
about proterm mac?

i think i'm using the slowest program i've ever seen right now.  procomm
on a genuine ibm pc.  this thing is painful.
