A couple of comments on the latest (0.9) version of MacTerminal.

1. The manual does not indicate that cmd backspace is mapped
to del. Actually, a toggle selection in the terminal menu
to have backspace and del swap commanded status would be
desirable.

2. I did not find any indication that a Mac would auto speed
to match an incoming call (300-1200 baud) when using
the Apple Modem (or equivalent).

3. The XMODEM transfer I tried, from umodem36a on a 4.2bsd
system, dutifully saved the linefeeds from the CP/M format
file that umodem emits. The resulting document prints
double spaced. The utility should trap either CR of LF
depending on which Apple needs to create newline.
