I have had a chance to use LisaTerm, and the descriptions of MacTerm don't seem
to fit.  MacTerm is supposed to support XMODEM file transfer protocol, where
LisaTerm (at lease the version I got to play with) had no file transfer capabties.

LisaTerm does emulate a VT100, and handles inverse, normal, underline, 80 col
and 132 col.  I suspect that the Mac will lack the 132 column feature although
it is rumored that the National Optometric Lobby has approached Apple for
this feature :-).

The only problem that I have had with LisaTerm (besides the fact that it is
painfully slow) is that it does not handle the Insert/Delete Line/Character.
Without these, it makes using some editors painful.
