Thank you.  I got it compiled and it worked.  I like the CRT emulation, I think this is perhaps the biggest feature for me.

I'll keep trying it out.  I did get a little confused with the icons at the top when connected.  There were no tooltips or text to say what they were.  Personally, I prefer text menus over trying to figure out what the icon means.

Also, I'm having trouble connecting to minds eye, I'll troubleshoot further and let you know.  It's not Minds Eye BBS as I can connect with Syncterm.

The choice if rust was an interesting choice.  The source tree after compilation was 1.6GB!!! That is not including files in the ~/.cargo directory that were also added (its 550MB).  The binary itself after stripping was 29MB, which is OK.

Thanks!
