You can use any MSX, that has possibility to use with modem. I'm using
proggram called TERM, but you can also use COMS6, ERIX, MEX738 or some
other terminal proggram. If you are going to use TERM, then you can
download ANSI-cursor proggram from my page (www.clinet.fi/~nyke), if you
want to use also cursor keys. (this can't be used with COMS6, because then
you can't acces menus) Then you can just call to your UNIX server. There
is some probblems, because Any of these has no VT100 emulation, but you
can use most of the UNIX software also with ANSI or VT52. (at least : FTP,
LYNX, TIN, PICO and PINE, that I have used.)
