Hmm..For some ideas on StarTerm 3.0, you might want to contact David
Berezowski at CBM. He's the guy who did AmigaTerm, the program to be shipped
with the CBM modem (am playing with a demo of it now)…The thing is OK, but
throughput is BLINDING (I connected it with our work VAX and ran it at 19.2
KBaud on our LAN…It kept up without half trying (PM showed very little CPU
use).. ) Would LOVE to see source to this baby (It looks like it could keep
up with the 32.4 Kbaud max of the serial port) but he limited it to a top
speed of 19.2KBaud. Oh well. 😐 Anyway, you two oughta get together. If you
combined the best features of AmigaTerm (INSTANT interlace for 49 lines of
text, CIS-B and relaxed XMODEM, other things) and the best of StarTerm 2.0
(auto XMODEM pad strip, phonebook, storeable function key defs) you'd have
the BEST term program available anywhere! Only thing is..Someone should tell
CBM that menus are good, but can be carried too far.. This thing has a
Project Menu that spans the entire screen!
