[comp.terminals] HP Terminal emulator needed

((((( please forgive if this is a repeat - you know the mailers... )))))


Everyone -

	Does anyone know of a source for an HP Terminal Emulator?  A
Sunview or X based program would be the most desirable, but anything
is worth looking at.  Any leads towards a commercial product (via
email) would also be appreciated.  In particular, I need at least 2622
level of functionality, including local edit, block mode, and
downloadable function keys.

	Thanks in advance for your assistance.

HP has one called HP TERM.  Depending on the video you have in your PC it
can be a 2392 (superset of the 2621 / 2622 series), or a 2627 (Color, needs
EGA or VGA in the PC).  When I was at Hughes, HP TERM came with every HP Vectra
(their AT clone)  we bought - I think it was free, but I am not sure.  We
purchased over 200 machines in one year and had over 100 copies on the shelf
when I left.

It's a so-so emulation - it does 90% of everything well, but will not do a 
few of the more esoteric things, for those we used a product called Reflection,
which is also available on the Mac.  Reflection comes in many flavors, I
remember using Reflection 3 and Reflection 7.
