[comp.sys.hp] MPE/ terminal emulators/ HP-UX

ostroff@aramis.rutgers.edu (Jack H. Ostroff) (01/18/90)

As a spin-off from the discussion of avoiding ENQ/ACK on MPE or
getting cu to use ENQ/ACK - I would love to have a terminal emulator
for my 9000/350 (HP-UX 6.5, soon to be 7.0) which will allow me access
to either or both of my  3000's (70 and 950).  I have heard (from
"reliable" sources) that HP has one of these for internal use only,
but they seem to be unwilling to make it avaiable.

Comments?  Suggestions?
Thanks.
                                   Jack (ostroff@pyrite.rutgers.edu)

I'm sorry but I must have missed the discussion of enq/ack & cu. The
cu program should have no problem accessing a 3000, and it does have
an option that tells it to respond properly to enq/ack handshaking.
It also know how to send data a 3000 using DC1 prompting.

What exactly was the original problem, and in what way did cu fail
to solve it?
