[comp.sys.amiga] Dnet Clients

echarne@orion.cf.uci.edu (Eli B. Charne) (02/27/89)

Hiya Everyone!

  I have Dnet running, but there is something I am really lacking... A vt100
  compatible "client" for it.  Has anyone out there adapted any programs to
  work with Dnet?

  I am also interested in any other clients that may have been set up.

                                                           -Eli

I don't know of any vt100 compatible client for Dnet, but I have a
modified usa1 keymap which remaps the (A500/A2000) keypad to send
vt100 escape sequences.  The console device is basically ANSI, and
reasonably similar to a vt100 (though not the same) and I've found it
works fairly well to use the modified keymap and the console device
(i.e. setmap in startup-sequence, and just use FTERM) and tell the
remote end you're a vt100, if it doesn't understand amiga, ansi or
sun.  (SunOS 4.0 DOES have an Amiga termcap.  Works nicely.)  It's not
a perfect vt100, but it's not too bad, and you don't need one more
program.
