- Yes, if you remove all the window gadgets, move bar, vertical, and
- horizontal scroll bars, and use the supplied gdos fonts, you can get 25
- lines, and with NVDI, at 14400, it scrolls fast enough, I can't keep
- up reading in ascii mode. Fancy vt100 graphics slow things down a bit.
-
- I used Flash for years, then Interlink, then went back to Flash.
- Always had Shadow with flash, but Shadow needs upgrading to zmodem, so I
- tried and liked Satlker 3 enugh to buy it. You need to be up to at least
- 3.02, the current latest, as it fixes several annoying bugs in the
- original 3. There is a script login writing script to help for those who
- hate script languages, nd the scrtipt language is based on C, which I
- personally prefer to basic, but then I never learned basic. I use
- nothing but Stalker any more, except Hermes uucp, and can't say enough
- good things about it, though if CoNNect could run as an accessory, and
- transfer in the background, it would be a close race.
