I agree that Apple Kermit is a pretty good deal, but the MS-DOS Kermit that
does the Tektronics 4010 emulation ALSO is public domain.

Are there any hardware limitations that might inhibit developing such an
emulation for the Apple 2?  If anyone has source code for a Tektronics
emulation, send it to medin-t@shark.nosc.MIL and Atlee@UMDC.bitnet

Maybe if ProTerm would add a graphics terminal emulation it would have a
competitive edge (for mainframe communications) over the public domain
Kermits?
