[comp.sys.atari.st] Terminal type for "flash"

faigin@aerospace.aero.org (Daniel P. Faigin) (08/28/89)

A friend of mine has an Atari 1040ST. Recently, we were trying to use a
program she has called "flash" to connect up to a Unix machine that I have an
account on. We were stymied, however, with what terminal type (as would be
found in the /etc/termcap file) to tell the Unix system. Does anyone out there
use "flash" with an 1040ST to communicate to Unix? If so, what terminal type
do you use?

Please reply via Email. If you post, I am sure I will not see it.

According to my manual Flash has 3 modes
VT-100 (the only one I used when I used flash)
VT-52  (stock Atari mode)
VIDTEX (graphics mode ala CompuServe)

Now I use UNITERM almost exclusively! (I bought Flash so I could
download UNITERM 1.0- First/Last time I used Flash; so-kay its
just that I like the kermit protocol in UNITERM and I had LOTS
of trouble with the kermit.acc that came with Flash- but Xmodem
on flash works fine).
