I have an old TeleVideo 1603 pc that I would like to use to access my account at this university. Unfortunately the mainframe expects to see an IBM pc, a VT100, or three other rather obscure terminals when I dial in. Does anyone know of an emulator (IBM or VT100) that would run on a 1603? I have two communications packages that run under CPM-86 on the TeleVideo: TeleAsync and Mite. I have managed to log on to my account with Mite (which I tell the mainframe is a VT100 terminal) but have problems with the screen not clearing. Emulation can be added to Mite, but I don't have any program docs to see what that involves. I'm not even sure if the company which marketed Mite is still around. Any information on Mite would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance. C.M.D. Casimir Matthew Drahan Computer Services University of Toledo Bitnet: OPRCMD@UOFT01

Many thanks to David Fetrow and Bill Marcum for their suggestions concerning possible ways to use a TeleVideo 1603 pc to log into the mainframe at my university. Further perusal of the help files reveals that it is possible to log in in line mode. Not really a very satisfactory solution. A few weeks back I checked the kermserv at Columbia to see if there was a version of Kermit for the TeleVideo. The best I could find was a CPM-86 version that might (???) run on the TeleVideo, or a generic MS-DOS version that pokes along at 1200 bps. Anyone know of a version of Kermit that will run on a TeleVideo? The IBM/MS-DOS version I have seen does vt100 emulation. I'm hopping that any version of Kermit for the TeleVideo might be similarly configured. Thanks. C.M.D. Casimir Matthew Drahan Computer Services University of Toledo Bitnet: OPRCMD@UOFT01
