    OK. Thx a lot.

    Due to the incompatibility/bug issue of Eterm I've gotten rid of the entire
    VT100 sequence and am now using a CR. This works even under Eterm.

    So far I haven't discovered any slowdowns due to the fast that I'm now
    rewriting the whole line instead of just 5 ascii values (plus the VT100 stuff).

    I'm now trying to limit the output rate to correspond with the CRT refresh
    rate.

    Is 100 Hz the standard value to use in this case or are there monitors out
    there that use a higher refresh rate?

    Cheers.
