For some time I have been trying to achieve full emulation of a wy50 terminal from a pc talking to xenix 386 3.x.x Several products have been tried, and they ALL work, to some degree. SCO, for whatever reason, has chosen to implement many additional features (status line, semi-graphics, etc) on the wy50 (other wyse terminals as well perhaps ?) for lyrix, pro, etc. Until now, the emulator products I have tried have not been able/willing to support these features. Without the time or desire to spend hours of testing and trial and error effort, I wanted an emulator that would do ALL the work. While looking for another product, I stumbled over PROCOMM PLUS, and decided (after my suppier promised my money back if it didn't work) to give it a try. Works fine, and to the degree where the desired features work ! The product is usually available for about seventy dollars. I haven't tried all the features of the product. I bought it only for the emulation. It also emulates various flavours of decvtxxx, televideo900, IBM3101, and IBM3270. This is no advertisement...just passing on satisfactory results from a reasonably priced product. Regards, Stephen Comfort-Mason
