VT100 w/ 2400 baud
Robert Gonzalez
I'm looking for a working VT100 (80 col) emulator for the 64 that works
in 2400 baud.
The one I have runs at 1200, and is painfully slow although everything
else is fine.

I would recommend Novaterm. There are also a couple of other programs
that support VT100 but I don't necessarily recommened them. They are ACE
(which has a Term program) and Terminal One.

"Dialogue" can do 2400 baud and VT100. Also in case you found
a copy in a bunch of bargain stuff, "Bob's Term Pro 128".
But the new Novaterm is probably the best bet.

Sounds like you're having trouble with your flow control. Be sure that
both Novaterm and your modem is set for hardware flow control.

Novaterm has always worked well for me. What version are you using, and
where are you trying to connect? It is probably just the setting s you are
using.

Have you tried Kermit? Don't know how it works at 2400 but at 1200 (a few
years ago :) ) it did quite well. If you're using Novaterm, you should be
having no trouble at 2400. Are you sure it's set up properly?

You may be better off using VT10 80-column. I just started using Novaterm
9.5 after having it over a year, and I think the 80 column mode is really
good. It depends on the monitor, though. On my 1902 I'm using black text
on a light blue background, and it seems to be the easiest on my eyes.
However, if you're trying to do that on an SX, I doubt you'd be able to
without a serious headache.

Well, yes, but I may be killed for mentioning it here. Why not an older
IBM clone? A 286 or older should do what you need quite well, and should
cost you $100 or less. There's several different term programs to choose
from out there. I have a couple of Compaq portables that I've used as
terminals, and though they're bulky devils, (even bigger than the SX-64)
they do the job quite well. I'd sell you one, but the shipping would kill
you, no doubt. But there should be laptops too, at a reasonable cost.

Well, try Novaterm by Nick Rossi! It works even with higer speeds (using
fast RS-232-cartridges like SwiftLink) up to 57.600bps. It serves
several RS-232-cartridges and the standard-userport, too.

When I use Novaterm 9.5 on my 1902A monitor I find that an all neutral
gray screen with black text works best. I keep my status line in yellow.
If I'm searching the net and not worried about downloading I'll use Desterm.
Otherwise, I'll use Novaterm. I hear that Mr. Desmond is working on a new
version and is currently being tested in Canada. I am not aware of any other
64 terminal programs other than 9.5 and Commodore's own "Common Sense"
program which is available when purchased with their 1200 baud 1670 "smart"
modem. I am currently using this modem and nothing else. It works fine
for me.

I am using one at work right now, it's a Panasonic KXD 4930, but
the only memory it has is for a phone book, and an answerback string. A
replacement battery costs $130 cdn.
> Otherwise I'll keep looking for the SX
You can always do other things with the SX, and then when you take your
data out of the drive it can be read right into the 128 at home.
With a PC laptop look into the cost of replacement batteries and the
number of minutes of use you can expect, before it crashes, and dumps you.

Contact Nick Rossi, the author, at voy...@eskimo.com, and order a copy of
NovaTerm 9.6. It is of course commercial, and has everything you'll ever need
for a Term program for the C64.
I beta tested the program, and use it almost daily.
If you happen to have a C128 lying around, it will allow you to use the 80
column screen and 2MHz speed while in C64 mode; makes for a very fast
combination. REU users will even find instantaneous scrolling on the soft-80
screen, instead of the old slow ripple-up effect.
It Supports Almost any kind of ram device, for buffer memory, and works great
with CMD drives.
Compatiblre with Commodore modems, as well as standard external PC modems, 300
baud to 38,400 baud, via SwifLink, HART, DataPump, Commport, and other
interfaces.. Even Daniel Dallmann's 9600 baud User Port interface.
Protocols include Zmodem (batch), Ymodem (Batch), Xmodem 1K and plain Xmodem,
Punter and multipunter, W-Xmodem, Kermit, and one or two others. Zmodem
features the ability to automatically start a download when the BBS starts, and
resume interrupted file transfers (if you, say, get cut off in the middle).
NovaTerm works with all CMD devices, including the HD, RamLink, and JiffyDOS.
Rumor has it, NovaTXerm even works with the Super CPU, and I have heard that a
SuperCPU will enable 9600 baud via a standard User Port RS232 interface, just
by adjusting NovaTerm's baud rate timers.

G'day,

There's no rumour to it. I've seen it work on my own system with
Novaterm 9.6 and 9.5 works fine too. Very nice download speeds and
absolutely no flow control problems whatsoever at 28.8k.

I think you missed his point Gaelyne, he was just pointing out a Typo.

Hi. I have a C64, 2 modems, (one is a Sharedata 300C modem, the other
just says 64modem and that's it) and an internet account. Can I use my
internet account to use IRC? It's just a regular connection. PPP I
guess. I know I should get Novaterm but I wanted to know first if I have
to have some special thing or can I hook up right now? Uh I don't know
what I'm talking about... Thanks
John Weemhoff
Yep, you can IRC with your C64 and 300 baud modems. You need an internet
account that will let you log on with a regular terminal program like
Novaterm 9.5 or 9.6 which has 80 column VT100 emulation. (you don't want
the high speed PPP conection as you don't have a web browser to use it)
Then you need to be able to exit the menu of your internet server to
telnet to a IRC server. Use http://www.excite.com to look up FAQ IRC
(frequently asked questions Internet Relay Chat) to find a IRC locatin
you can telnet to. For instance, telnet sci.dixie.edu (port 6677)
Have fun! Internet for Dummies is a great book also for info.

The first thing you have to do is get a shell account. PPP will not cut it,
you need to get something that Novaterm can work with. There are no working,
practical, graphic browsers for C= machines yet, but there are demos and some
programs in the works for the 128. The 64 modem's you have are probably both 300
baud, which will be unsufferable slow, and won't work unless you can find a
server that can handle that slow a modem. Some providers have dual access
accounts, shell and PPP/Cslip this would probably be your best bet.

See if you can get the right internet account first, then look for a 1200 or
2400 modem (they are cheap, used around $20) then get novaterm and activate the
account. Later if you decide to upgrade there are hardware goodies that will
allow you to connect 14.4k and 28.8k modems to your 64. Yes you can access IRC
with Novaterm (so I am told anyway), if your provider allows it

Sounds like either a bad copy of Novaterm, or a bad VIC chip. I'd get a
new copy of Novaterm first.

Yeah, it's the only thing I disklike about NovaTerm, and for that matter ev=
ery
other program that uses the Kernal's keyscan routine.. If you type too fa=
st,
or (like me)=A0type with a two key rollover, it tends to introduce slight t=

errors...live CVGA instead of CGA, REVU instead of REU, an X or other
characters now and then, etc.

Novaterm works fine for me. What version are you using?
Dan Barber
xy3...@epix.net
ast...@delphi.com
If Novaterm is giving garbage to you, you might need to use the cont W or
C= W (the right one is found by using the menu of commands option in the
terminal mode & I don't remember if its c= or Cont command off the cuff)
2400 & up needs to be set from one line scroll to 3 or the page style scroll.
I believe this applies at a minimum to versions 9.4 & 9.5. I'm not sure
about its applicability to earlier versions. Another Program option for
VT100 is Kermit 2.2.
