Re: mutt on a Commodore terminal program (Re: CBM720 heads up)

I was able to make some progress by editing my .muttrc file.  mutt works
better using a Zenith Z-19 terminal than the few emulator choices available
for the Apple /// computer.  Part of the problem lies with the Apple ///.
I may also have to play around with the ttyUSB0 port on my linux box, there
may be some things I can do with characters there.  There is a lot about
how to tunnel FROM a Raspberry Pi, but not as much about how to make
INBOUND connections via a terminal.  So I am making it up as I go.

I am expecting the same "fun" with the B-128.

My goal is to have a general purpose way to connect machines that can run
terminal software directly to the Internet via the Raspberry Pi.  Twitter
works, general linux commands work somewhat well, but there are always a
few weird characters to contend with in the display.  I am using Rasbian
(Debian).
