I have Smart 64 Terminal and it has some nice features (.img to program, text to basic, local dos commands, data capture and extract) but mine doesn't have vt52 emulations. A program I obtained from Compuserve called TERM-80 does (and can emulate 80 columns in graphics). Term-80 works well with the 2 termcap entries provided. XMOBUF (C64 Xmodem/Vidtex-type program) is excellent for transferring files with umodem (Unix Xmodem) but doesn't have a terminal emulation program built in. Neither do any of the 'punter' protocol telecommunications programs I use to access C64 BBS's. Of course the program I am really enthusiastic about is Kermit for the C64 (also known as Kermit-65) and I will post a review to the newsgroup after I have tried and evaluated it. I am bootstrapping the program now - the documentation provides details of many more features than many commerical programs - Kermit packet protocol, local dos commands, vt52 emulation, communications with a server on the mainframe and the ability to use baud rates greater than 1200 (I will try this on a direct RS232 connection and see if the c64 can keep up at 1800 and 2400 baud). All in 6502 assembly language. I can send documentation on the various programs mentioned here. H.
