(This is a re-posting to get outside of the AT&T network) 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". Start cu, give cu "~%nostop" (see the cu man page), and set TERM=vt100 on the remote. When using X-Windows, it identifies itself as a 5420, but works better as a vt100. You can always port the 6386's terminfo entry if you like. 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. (i.e. to allow the job to run in batch mode). Again, the answer depends on what exactly you want to do. steve roush at&t - btl - denver drutx!csr 303-538-4860
