- fyi...
- I have tried a few terminal programs under beta releases of MultiTOS.
-
- Flash 1.6 was totally unusable. It looked as if Flash was trying to
- directly access the hardware, and thus ended up competing for characters
- with the serial port driver in MultiTOS. On average, there was only about
- a 50% chance of getting a character you typed echoed back from the port.
-
- "Freeze Dried Terminal" (I forget what version) showed exactly the same
- symptoms.
-
- Interlink worked in so far as sending/receiving characters went, but
- it was obvious it didn't handle screen redraws correctly. The presence
- of windows from other running programs and from the desktop trashed
- Interlinks dialog buffers/windows.
-
- Stalker 3.0 was rock solid. In addition I haven't noticed any speed
- "problem" with it.
