Hi Jason ProTerm is the most powerful 8-Bit communications program available for the Apple II. Its available from Intrec for $19 (NOT $59). I'm not sure if you have to pay an extra $5 for the manual on disk or not. Aside from a variety of terminal emulations and protocols to choose from, you get a very powerful text editor and a scroll back buffer thats only limited by the amount of memory in your machine. Likewise, Proterm supports autolearning macros. The site hasn't been updated for awhile but you can still contact Jerry Cline at Intrec via phone if you have questions. http://www.intrec.com/proterm-a2/ also see their vt100 tips link on this page: http://www.intrec.com/proterm-a2/a2tips.html - Paul
I agree Proterm is a very good terminal emulator. I used it myself for a while in the 90's. It's been so long I've forgotten most of what I used to do.
There is a termcap which is available for the Apple. I've never got it to work. Stick with the VT-100 where possible. As I recall, the best way to work with the Apple as a terminal is to do the work locally and transfer files. This way there is the benefit of speed and not having to worry about partially functioning emulation.

I have been attempting to use Talk Is Cheap 4.02, but can't seem to get it to correctly handle the VT100 control codes generated by the host. Specifically, I'd like apps like Pine, Pico, and Lynx to display correctly. Any suggestions on clients, and config settings for the Apple and the agetty host on Linux would be appreciated. Thanks. -Jason Harmon
