It included three terminal programs, including a VT52 emulator for the 64 featuring selectable 40/80 columns, a VT100 emulator for the 128, and a program called Commonsense for the 64. The latter has all sorts of goodies like an editor, XMODEM and Compuserve B transfer protocols. The VT100 emulator has XMODEM and a 58K buffer, clock, and numerous other features. Commodore also supplies a card for free QuantumLink software, and free time on QuantumLink (Commodore's Information Network). When you send in the card, you also receive an updated version of the VT100 emulator which corrects some bugs and adds full VT100 graphics capabilities Looks like Commodore has their act together, about making sure the products are right before shipping them.
