[comp.os.cpm] terminal emulation for kaypro

rr2g@RHONDA.CE.VIRGINIA.EDU (Rhonda Gaines) (09/17/90)

I have a Kaypro 2X that I use to access the computer systems
on campus.  I need to access Sun & AT&T machines.  Logging on is no 
problem.  The problem comes in when I use the jove editor. What 
terminal emulation should I be using to use jove? Or should I be
using a different editor all together?  The editors (I know of
available) are: jove, emacs, vi.  I've tried vt100, and adm5.  adm5
works better than vt100 but not the best.  Any ideas?  What about a
different terminal program?  I have kconnect (developed here for use
w/ kaypros), mex, and mdm7.

Any ideas/comments appreciated.

Try using either adm3a or vt52. I don't recall which, but either of
these should be ok for Kaypro.

Flame me, if I fouled up..

I haven't seen kconnect, but mex works just fine.  Tell whatever
that you connect with that your terminal is an
ADM3A
and the terminal emulation will work just fine.

Hello u Kaypro'ers:
ADM3 is the stock terminal type for Kaypros, unfortunately, my VAX here don't
support anything but VT-type terminals.  There is an emulator on SIMTEL if you
can access it.  Other wise the MAXROM 84 from microcornucopia will give you
VT52 emulation in ROM.  I got it a few months ago & have had no problems with
at all.  Actually, I just got a quad drive for 50$A and now have 780K storage!
I love it.  For 79$US it's a fair deal.  Anyways there you go . . .

No worries, mate!  Are you masochistic?  ;-/

... and she wants to connect to various computers.  The Kaypro screen uses
a superset of the adm3a terminal commands.  In other words, Mex, Kermit and
other modem programs will (should) work fine if you tell your host that you
have an adm3a.  Unfortunately, that is a rather slow and limited set of
commands.  The following termcap and terminfo entries have worked well for
me over the last few years.  They make use of the Kaypro's extra features,
such as insert line, delete line, clear-to-eol, etc.

To use the termcap entry, save it to a file such as /home/me/kaypro.tc.  Now
tell everyone about it by typing
	setenv TERM kaypro; setenv TERMCAP /home/me/kaypro.tc
if you use C-shell.  In Bourne or Korn shell, type
	TERM=kaypro ; TERMCAP=/home/me/kaypro.tc ; export TERM TERMCAP

To use the terminfo entry, save it to a file such as kaypro.ti.  Now, set
your terminfo database to your own directory by typing either
	setenv TERMINFO /home/me
or
	TERMINFO=/home/me ; export TERMINFO
and then compiling the terminfo file with the command "tic /home/me/kaypro.ti".

No, I don't guarantee perfect results, but it usually works for me.
