I need a UNIX terminal emulator (to run on a Macintosh) that will do the
following:

- Toggle between 80 character mode to 132 character display
- reverse video
- Downline load ASCII files

UNIX systems support almost all types of terminal available. One of the
most popular terminal types supported is the Digital VT100 series. Lots of
Macintosh programs support this terminal type, especially the later ones
which use the Communications ToolBox.

MacTerminal 3.0 allows you to use the VT102, or the VT320 Tools. In the
Screen setting, you can toggle between 80/132-columns, and select inverse
video. In the File Transfer setting, you can select files transfer using
the Text Tool, or the XModem Tool.

Pacer's PacerTerm and Synergy's VersaTerm-Pro also use the Communications
ToolBox and support other Tools besides the Apple Tools.

For more information, search on the above product names.
