[comp.sys.mac] VT220 Terminal Emulator Wanted

krk@ihlpl.ATT.COM (Kevin Kinnear) (05/06/88)

A friend of mine is looking for a terminal program for the Mac that emulates
the DEC VT220 terminal.  He is connecting to a VAX running VMS and would like
to emulate the same terminal that he uses at work.  I think function key
compatibility is important, too.

This is important--
if he can't find this capability on the Macintosh
he may decide to buy an IBM compatible PC (shudder) instead!

White Pine Software has several DEC terminal emulators for the Mac:

Mac220  VT220 emulation  $129 (retail)
Mac240  VT240 text and graphics emulation  $199 (retail)
Mac241  VT241 color text and graphics emulation  $299 (retail)

White Pine Software, Inc.
94 Route 101A
Amherst, NH 03031

I do not use any of these products nor do I know anything about White
Pine Software other than that they recently have established a very
close relationship with DEC and are planning to bring out an X Window
System server that runs under the MacOS at the end of the year.
