Communications programs such as Professional-YAM and Crosstalk are available
in DG/One versions.

One minor point to consider: most if not all of the lap-tops have a modified
keyboard layout, with fewer keys than a PC.  This affects Pro-YAM's VT100
Alternate Keypad emulation, since there isn't a keypad to remap!

Other than that subtlety, the Kaypro-2000 runs a stock Pro-YAM at speeds
of 19200 bps and less.  Since it has only one disk drive, whereas the DG/One
has room for two, you may run into "one hand clapping" problems.
