   I liked to use the built-in driver in TRSDOS (COMM was it?) to communicate   
   to the university computers just to browse the library catalog. I had a   
   Samsung 2400 baud pocket modem. That driver rocked. Never lost a character   
   even on "high speed" 9600 baud direct connections, although it would   
   sometimes duplicate a character. I remember having it directly connected to   
   my PC (XT, later 486SX-25), and deluging my 4P with data, and never losing a   
   character. Then going the other way and watching the PC struggle to keep up,   
   then finally losing data! It was pretty damn funny...   
      
   For terminal use, I believe I used something called "Fast Term" which   
   supported ANSI pretty well. One of the better comm packages, that looked   
   like Telix or Procomm on the PC.
