- My opinion is that Flash 1.6 and Uniterm are the only two. See my other
- post in this group.... I found the STalker 3.0 demo to be very buggy
- and extremely slow. Uniterm is the fastest, so if you're used to that,
- STalker will make you laugh out loud. Try Flash 1.6, it's solid as a
- rock, unless you need very complete vt102 like Uniterm. (even then Flash
- is pretty good).

- You must have better eyes than me. :) Stalker probably lets you use
- GDOS fonts or something, but it will look like sh*t and be unbearably
- slow. Uh, Flash 1.6 does 50 line mode also...
