From: John Clark <clark@rand-unix> When I send the usual login terminal identification query (^[[c) from our Unix system to MacTerminal 1.1, (in vt100 mode) the response always seems to be ^[[E;V , regardless of MacTerm's answerback message setting. This is OK, as the response suffices to distinguish MacTerm from other terminals around here; however, I am mystified. How does MacTerm's answerback feature work; ie, what is the query that elicits the "answerback message" response? Why do I get ^[[E;V ? This doesn't look like a standard VT100 response. Is this documented anywhere? On a related topic, is it possible to set MacTerm's parameters-- specifically, bits/char and parity--remotely? If so, how? For example, 7 bits/char is the required setting to get the attention of our ALS, but-- once logged on--8 bits/char seems to work best with macput/get in Unix. It ought to be possible to set some things remotely via a login script. It is a nuisance to have to manually reset parameters every time you log on. Any help, advice, or pointers to same will be gratefully received. --John Clark clark@rand-unix
