- FastTerm II by Mel Patrick is a good terminal program. It has scripts,
- autoredial, and VT100 emulation, amoung a hundred other things I can't
- remember (I got it June 1992 as a gift for my brother).
-
- The VT100 emulator misses a few codes, but I sure Mel could fix that
- if it was important enough to someone figure it out which ones--in
- testing I ran into minor problems when running the EVE editor on a VAX
- (DEC software often uses codes that you won't encounter else where).
-
- It definitely is much better then the 'comm' program that comes with
- TRSDOS/LSDOS and has features which aren't in a $150 Mac package
- I use at work (mostly features which make a terminal program easier
- to use at home with a modem in a standard setup--one is the completely
- configurable redial--how long between redials, etc.)
-
- The program is shareware, but I recommend getting it directly from
- Mel Patrick for $15--that way you get the laser printed manual which
- is very complete and well done at about 24 pages.

-
- Just ask for FastTerm II for the TRS80 Model 4 and send a check for $15
- and don't forget to use the correct postage for Canada, it's about
- $0.45 now (I had to send a letter to Canada 3 times once because I missed
- the finer points in our mail system, like those F stamps have no value).
