[comp.sys.hp] HP terminal emulation

laurino@cell.mot.COM (Joan S. Laurino) (02/14/90)

I have an hp protocol analyzer that I would like to run
remotely from a Sun Window.  The protocol analyzer has
software for remote control, all that is needed is a 
terminal that looks like an hp2392a.  The connection
from the protocol analyzer to the Sun is an rs232 
connection.  Does anyone out there have any clues as
to how I can accomplish this goal?

Take a look (via anonymous ftp) on columbia.edu [128.59.16.1].  There is a
package there called "typhoon" that should be just what you need.  This is
a package that lets you upload and download programs with your protocol
analyzer, remotely fiddle with softkeys, etc.

The two files you should get are:

I am trying to find an emulator package for an HP terminal under X windows
able to talk to an HP 3000 system running MPE.

I am not sure that the hpterm software code (if I could find it anywhere)
would help since I tried running an hpterm from a HP/UX 835 and the hpterm
couldn't talk any better than an xterm to the MPE system.

Is there a hp emulator available?  I would even pay money for one :-(.
Comments from any HP personnel are very welcome.  I am a little suprised that
for a company dedicated to "open systems", HP hardware is so temperamental in
the communications area.

Thanks.
