Or find a better terminal emulator I don't have any real DEC terminals or any real DEC hardware yet. Where in Ohio? I'm in western PA, just a hair northeast of Pittsburgh. Near Columbus. Ahh ok, so 3-3.5hrs out. Not too bad. I can hook you up with some hardware. I have, erm, a bit of a surplus at the moment. What do you have as surplus?
