The Holmdel Computer Center wants to do a survey on what types of packages work well with UNIX and other hosts. The program must emulate a particular terminal so that it can be used with full screen type programs. The most important questions are does it support XON/XOFF in both directions, is there a reliable file transfer capability and is it generally as good as the terminal it replaced? Any particulars about what is good or bad about the program would be appreciated. I will summarize responses and post to the net. Thanks in advance.
