  One person already responded about Novaterm.. and you may have seen my  
  other reply suggesting StrikeTerm2014 (a fork of the other), and also  
  CCGMS Future v0.2 for PETSCII in 80 cols... but nobody has mentioned  
  that there is a replacement for the VIC-II chip called the Kawari. It  
  will give you actual hardware 80 columns on the C64. One person I talk  
  to on the BBSes loves his, says it looks fantastic for BBSing and  
  everything else.  
    
  I just use an SVideo cable out of my C= into an LCD with software 80  
  columns.. Looks fine to me. I've put up with worse looking software 80  
  columns on the Atari 8bits ;).
