I never use Notes (except on Eisner) so it never occurred to me that it's a
good test of an emulator's capabilities; it's now been added to my list of
applications to try against a new emulator in the future.

I do use MONITOR as part of evaluating a new emulator however; it's a good
test of an emulator's line drawing capabilities.

BTW, Ross, what telnet negotiation options does your emulator support ?
