I tried Ewan, but didn't like it. =20 Right now I'm using TeraTermPro 2 (32 bit) (16 bit also available as TeraTerm 1) and I quite like it, at least for its telnet capabilities, although it claims to do do dial-up as well. Also comes with a macro language. Free. http://omni.cc.purdue.edu/~xniu/winsock/win95/telnet.htm and look under "T" I use MS's Courier New font, which has the extended characters, and I thought I had to set the display character set to PC850 (whatever that choice is... can't see it right now because beta-lynx list is broken, so we are forced to use Lynx 2.4 which doesn't have the options.) Still Pine is working, so I'm not sure what to make of that :-?=20 The more I use it, the more I like it :-) I'm composing on a 132x42 screen now (which is what was to blame for last week's wide lines on the meeting notes - the system uses it automatically) Anyway, just my 2 cents.
