[att.micro.pc] Terminal emulator for 6386 under UNIX

csr@drutx.ATT.COM (Steve Roush) (01/07/89)

  Earlier a question was asked about terminal emulators under UNIX.  Here
is a modified version of my answer to the author (there is another
program that is only available internally)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   What exactly do do want to do?

   For strictly interactive use, I use "cu".  If you "stty -ixon" on the
6386 before starting cu, and then give cu "~%nostop" (see the cu man page),
it works acceptably as a vt100.  Under X-Windows, it identifies itself as
a 5420.  It may not be a perfect emulator, but you could always build a better
terminfo entry.  (I have not yet checked for differences between X and
std. UNIX).

  You can also try a DOS emulator under Simultask, though I've had
problems with "ctrm".

  I do not know of any UNIX programs outside of AT&T that allow scripting
of sessions as can be done under DOS.

Again, the answer depends on what exactly you want to do.
