There's a VT100 emulator rom that does vt100, tektronix etc.  If you're
desperate then I'll mail it to you uuencoded.  Dave Sainty (who is away
on holiday this week) wrote TequilaComm which is a very nice BBC comms
package.  I've used it on the master and it's 100 times better than
Modem Master which is what I used to use.  Features like scrollback,
X and Y modem, around about VT220 support (even does double height,
width etc. under vt100).  It's got a nice dialling directory with
autologin scripts etc.  There's a shareware version and the full version
is NZ$30 which is about 10 pounds.  If you want the shareware version
then send mail to <cain_p@...> and I'll mail it uuencoded.

There is some more documentation about the Master's Terminal software
in one of the Reference Guides.  But it's really not worth it, it has
a very poor ansi emulation, I'd suggest TequilaComm.
