Terminal Emulation

[jponge@mtu.edu (Joshua P. Onge)]

Hi all,

OK, Here's what I wanna do.  I have a IIc at Home, and a Unix account on a
Sun at school.  I want to use the IIc to dial in to the sun for simple
text based computing.  I have two questions: 

1) Since all I'm going to be doing is transferring text data, do I need a
very fast modem.  Am I going to see a substantial difference between say a
300 baud modem and a 14,400 baud modem.  Can a IIc even handle a 14,400 or
a 9,600 baud connection?

2) What Software should I use.  I guess I want to emulate a VT220 or
something (Actually I have no idea what that means).  Will this Proterm
program I here about work.  If so where can I get.  (A decent freeware or
shareware program would be preffered, as I do not want to spend a lot of
money on this.)

Thanks for any help,
