Anyone use a CP/M machine for BBSing? What terminal program do you use? I've
settled on QTerm as it has VT100 support built in. However screen clearing
doesn't seem to work with Mystic's pipe CL.  Once the last line (say row 24
for example) is reached then everything just gets written over on that last
line and the screen never advances or clears.

Been a couple years since I last used it, but I recall it working on other
BBS software.  I'll have to do more testing to know for sure.

With VT100 emulation off QTerm is working just fine, just no screen clearing
etc.

Only other "issue" I have with this Kaypro 4 is that I can't use a baud
faster than 1200 without dropping characters.  Kind of sucks lol, I much
prefer 2400 baud.

Here is a picture of my Kaypro 4 as set up and connected to my BBS (still in
configuring/customizing phase):
