hi On a mac IIfx, Debian 2.2.19. I want to run a terminal emulation to program to connect to my ISP. How do I go about this and what programs are needed. Help setting them up would be appreciated. tia, scb On Wed, 29 Aug 2001, Scott Barber wrote: > greetings maxPenguins, > > I'm new to this list, though some of you may know me from the sidelines on the > compact and vintage lists.
