modern serial terminal

Which reminds me.  I ran across the firmware for two terminals the 
other day.  It's my code, but I'll be darned if I remember anything 
about the jobs.

One is firmware from a Visual "Barrister" terminal.  About all that I 
can gather from a quick glance at the code is that it was Z80-based, 
as was the other firmware for a Tab 220 terminal.  In particular, the 
code seems to be aimed at using a second serial port and displaying 
the data from two ports in split-screen mode.

I vaguely remember the Tab was a well-constructed box with a green 
screen, but the Barrister made absolutely no impression on me.  It 
must not have been very good.

Cheers,
Chuck
