Well, Dester-128 V2.0 for the 128 has an excellent VT100 emulator, good ANSI
and all that other good stuff.. and xmodem, ymodem, etc all work with
unix xmodem and vms xmodem... Never had any problems.. so if you are going
to get a good program, I highly recommend it.
I believe that you can find this wonderful program at Milton.
