Never used that one. My first terminal emulator was the one that came
on cassette with the VICmodem. It was so bad, I wrote my own in VIC
BASIC. That's what I used for CompuServe at 300 baud c. 1982.
Before that, I used real terminals (borrowed, not my own), so there was
no need for a terminal emulator. I got my first ASCII terminal in 1984.
Still have it. Still use it (mostly as a console for the VAX 8200 and
uVAX-II in the basement).
