I am looking for a terminal emulator for the wyse 50 terminal that will
run under MS-DOS. Screen is a CGA. Computer is clone XT. It should be
able to manipulate a HAYES 2400 baud modem, but so long as as it talks
to the serial port properly I'll be happy. It should be able to use the
function keys and the arrow keys, etc in the appropriate manner. I'd
prefer to use a package like qmodem (and I'd be willing to pay for it
if its shareware, etc).
Thanks in advance,
Nick

The best that I have seen (and we use it all the time at work; I know
personally of at least 45 satisfied (paying) customers - is Softerm.
It runs on our 386-VGA machine iwth no problems, as well as on a raft
of other MSDOS based boxes. It is written by a group in Colorado
Springs, Co. (I have the exact address at work - send me mail for
it..) It has dozend of emulations; our particular interest was
Wyse-50 and it does that well.
The only problem we have experienced is that when you are coming out
of block mode it doesn't reset scroll to be on; it is an easy couple
of key strokes to fix, but that is a definite problem.
Good luck, and if you hear of anything else, please post.
But the way Softerm costs about $200 (qty 1) - in quantities over 25
they were abotu $100 each.
