I want 80 columns so I guess I need an 80 column adapter and a decent monitor. I have just started looking and the only 80 column card I have found is from Protecto for $99. Monitors seem cheap. I think I want at least a 12" monchrome. Protecto has them for $99. I have Commodore's cheapo modem and their 64term package. Is this going to work? What else do I need? Money is not the biggest concern, I want something that will work without hassle. Can you recommend anything better? What do you do about the UN*X characters that are not on the C64 keyboard? Or, are they all there someplace? What about a termcap for this setup? does any one have one or any pointers? Are there any good terminal emulator packages? I assume any responses will be interesting enough to submit to the net but I will gladly summarize anything I get. Thank you.
