- I've had a C64 for ages but I have yet to get a modem. I'd like to be
- able to call in to a supercomputer Unix box from home on my 64, (what a
- rush for my little 64!) and I was wondering how well it would work.
-
- For one thing, does most terminal software have good vt100 or similar
- terminal emulation? And how does it do it with only a 40 column screen?
- Horizontal scrolling?
