re "We have an old HP Series 100 PC that is isolated, and not to usable
due to lack of a communications program. Can anyone out there in
netland recommend a good communications program for a HP Series 100 PC?"
Which Model ?
110 - "HP Portable" or "Portable Plus", DOS
120 - CPM (Z80)
125 - CPM (Z80)

Both of these do not need any 'Terminal' program at all - they are both 100% fully capable HP compatible terminals in their own right. If you power the system up and it comes up into CP/M and the original 'WELCOME' screen, sinply choose to exit to CP/M and then press the 'MODES' key. I htink it is key [f4] that says LOCAL OP SYS and key [f5] that says REMOTE. Press [f5] and you are a terminal. The same is true for the next gen Series 100 from California at least, the 150. If you have a Portable system (the 110 or the Portable Plus) they, too, have built in terminal software, so no additional stuff is needed. NOW...... if you want a vt100 emulation, it's a different story. I don't believe any vt100 was ever done for the 125/120; hp used to sell one for the 150. If it's file transfers you want (ASCII only), there was a program for the 120/125 called LINK/125 and later, Advancelink/125. I probably have copies of these around somewhere if anyone is desparate enough to want them... let me know. Miles

In addition to the built-in HP terminal software, the HP 150 has a built-in ANSI terminal emulation, I believe. Dave Decot Hewlett-Packard Company decot%hpda@hplabs.hp.com

If ANSI emulation is provided in the 150C ROMS, I may yet purchase the 150C upgrade. -- Steve VanDevender stevev@drizzle.cs.uoregon.edu "Bipedalism--an unrecognized disease affecting over 99% of the population.

All the HP 100 series computers have a terminal mode which emulates an HP terminal. In addition, there is a program called Advancelink which runs on the 110 and 150, and supports Xmodem checksum data transfers as well as ASCII and HP transfers. It only emulates HP terminals.

No, no ANSI terminal emulation is provided in the 150. even the TEK emulation is full of problems I hear. To get ANSI mode on the 150, you have to buy the 'vt100' terminal package from HP - which may or may not still be on the price list. Check with your local hp dealer I suppose... but press hard to make sure he checks with hp. mbk
