[comp.terminals] Public Domain Terminal Emulator for IBM PC

TDTRUE@pucc.UUCP (11/21/87)

Does anyone know where I could get source for a public domain terminal
emulation program for an IBM PC? It should be capable of VT100 or
IBM 3270 emulation.
 
Since this has undoubtedly been discussed before, please mail me any
responses.
 
Thanks.

The best PD vt100 emulator that I have found is PC-VT by Mark DiVecchio.
The number to his board is 619-549-3927.  His office number is 619-549-4056

I would recommend KERMIT, which does a fine job of emulating a VT102.
As far as 3270-style emulation you won't get that without some sort of
coax board.  We've used IRMA boards with great success.

The source code for Pibterm v4.0 is public domain and it is able to do
VT100 emulation as well as about 10 other types.  If you'd like the
source to it, just send me 4 formated 360k floppies and the postage to
get them back to you and i'll send it to you.  In my opinion Pibterm
v4.0 is the best communications i've seen in a long time.

I forgot to include one little detail in my response...my address
     
If you'd like a copy of the source code for Pibterm v4.0 send
4 formatted 360 floppies and the postage to get them back to you.
     
If you'd just like a copy of the executables send 2 formatted
360 floppies and the needed postage.

Procomm has a pretty good VT100 emulator in it. It is shareware,
and source may not be available, but it won't hurt to try. It's
