I do recommend these machines as a dumb terminal substitute and for kermit/xmodem 'sneakernet' [1] transfers. In other words to upload a file from one machine, go somewhere and download it to another machine. Personally I prefer the 95LX as the 40 column display is easier to read. But the 100LX has a better serial port with hardware handshaking and an 80 column display which may be better for the VT100 emulation. [1] This term doesn't really 'work' here but 'trainernet' doesn't sound right either. -tony
