I used OmniTerm in the day and found that pretty good.
I've got it on a

The manual is linked under the name.
I looked all up & down your page where you talked about fixing the RS232 card and
never saw any mention of what software to use. Was it there and I just missed it? If not,
you really should link it since google keeps bringing that page up near the top whenever I
search for TRS80 serial/rs232 things. :-)
I'm actually having problems with my RS232 board. Once the BR1941 chip heats up a
little it keeps sending the last character over and over and over. That chip gets super
super hot and when I stuck a heat sink on it, it took a lot longer before it went repeat
crazy. I've got a couple of COM8116 chips on order which I'm hoping will fix it.
I got OmniTerm loaded and it's nice it has a cursor. But it still sends uppercase by
default and I have to hold down shift to get lowercase. I see there's a way to remap
the keyboard in OmniTerm, I guess I will have to play with that.
Thanks!
