- I haven't seen a terminal program like this, but fnt80x25.com spawns
- off a command.com and uses graphics mode to do 80x25 text. The program
- is quite slow (several seconds to repaint the screen) unless light
- sleep is turned off. I've been able to run MS-Kermit at 1200bps with
- no problems, except that clear screen puts several vertical lines
- across the display. I don't know if this is an MS-Kermit problem, or a
- problem with fnt80x25.

- This program and the fnt80x25 program are available on Compuserve. The
- author, David K. Goodman (72330.130@compuserve.com) has specifically
- prohibited distribution of any of his software on the Internet or
- Usenet. You could try asking him if he could make the software
- available some other way. It might be possible to persuade him to at
- least sell the software on disk.
