Sure that's better than nothing, and my current vt100 emulator isn't much
better; as far as I have understood the SVI X'press's vt100 is quite
machine-dependent. Any sources available etc? Please mail the program and/or
sources to me if you find either of them.

How to connect or receive files from simtel20? I've got an access to both
unix and vms-systems, any possibility to reach simtel20 by earn, in
real-time? Does receiving files/directories/other info work via uucp mail in
unix-systems?

I'm working in the university's computer store so ordering the roms won't be
difficult, but a telefax number etc would be of great help. That CTM-table
could be very helpful, so if you find it please enclose it in mail. As the
capacity of those two 64mb drives seems to suit fine for me, that rom
replacement thing seems to be the ideal solution.

In theory mail should come here when using jjj@hupu.hut.fi as my mail
address...
