Ok world, this *SHOULD* be an easy one. We have a visiting scientist over here who brought his own terminal. An Apollo Workstation with its own disk. We have a Sun 3/50 network running BSD4.2 Sun Release 3.4. What we would like, very simply, is to let him tip, via a serial line, to our file server. During this tip session he would like to have full screen addressing (ie. run vi). Does anyone know the simpliest way to get the termcap set up so that processes on the Sun FS will generate the proper control codes to address a window in the Apollo WS? We tried some weird variations with the Apollo running a vt100 emulator with no real success. We looked at the Apollo termcap file and saw that the Apollo treated its terminals like vt132, but that didnt' seem to help. It is a rather old Apollo, i think a Domain DS3000(?). We want the fastest possible fix, but we would also like a more long range solution for repeat visitors. Could someone just send us an Apollo entry for our Sun /etc/termcap file? thanks now for your replies, especially the quick ones! -chip -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chip Roberson ARPANET: csrobe@icase.arpa 1105 London Company Way BITNET: $csrobe@wmmvs.bitnet Williamsburg, VA 23185 UUCP: ...!seismo!gmu90x!wmcs!csrobe --------------------------------------------------------------------
