- I have a //c and a ][+. The ][+ with the Super Serial Card will
- handle 19200 baud with Kermit. Kermit's emulation is shaky on the ][+,
- though. ProTerm 3.0 should be able to handle 19200 baud (possibly 38400??)
- with solid vt100 emulation (among others). ProTerm is commercial, whereas
- Kermit is free...but ProTerm has many more features. It depends what you're
- looking for. Both ProTerm and Kermit work with a //e or //c. The ][+
- can only use Kermit.

-
- There are also generic apple2 termcap entries. They do not support
- scroll-up (as vt100 does), so while it will work, it will be significantly
- slower for text editing.
-
- Here are some BSD-type entries from /etc/termcap:
