  • Terminal Program for Model 1?

    I've tried Modem80 and OmniTerm for the TRS-80 Model 1. Neither seems to respond to X-ON, X-OFF so I"m limited to 1200 baud connections if I don't want to lose characters. Does anyone know of a better Model 1 terminal program that does allow X-ON, X-OFF? If so, what it is and, if possible, where can I get it?

    I've been using FastTerm on my 4P at 9600 BPS (even at 19.2KBPS, there
    were no dropped characters). But I was using hardware flow control, not software flow control.

    Based on my experiments with my Model 102, software flow control really doesn't work well enough. So if you can't do hardware flow control, I
    think you are stuck at 1200 BPS.
