LINK's VT100PC emulation works well with many PC and Macintosh software packages, but may not work with yours. If you have trouble with VT100PC, alternative LINK emulations are available for you to try. You should also try to adjust the settings of your own software. Test each combination using the test pattern from step 5 above. Try using your VT102 setting with one of LINK's VT100 emulations, or try using your TTY setting with LINK's ANSI emulation.

Line noise in rural areas has been a recurring problem for users trying to connect at high modem speeds. I've tried everything and still can't connect. If possible, try a different software package, as they are not all truly VT100 compatible. Freeware and shareware programs are rarely as good as commercial packages. If you believe that your computer is properly set up, but you have consistent trouble connecting to LINKcat, please report the problem to your local library.
