We're have a 386 running SCO Xenix 2.3.2 which is replacing a lot of
the things we used to do on PC XT-type machines. I'd like to make use
of these XTs as terminals but have not been able to find a good terminal
emulator to use with them.
Here's what I've tried:
ProComm Plus: Easy enough to use and fairly fast with a wide variety
of emulations. Unfortunately, none of the emulations
seem to work completely right (and I've got _real_
VT100s and Z19s to compare them to). Have talked
with tech support there -- they say they have no
problem with the VT100 emulation but won't give out
a copy of their VT100 termcap either...
Hayes Smartcom:
A seemingly robust VT100 emulation. Unfortunately it's
much too slow on an XT-type machine (even the so-called
"Turbo XTs" we have from PC Limited). It does work okay
on a 286 machine.
So before I spend too much more money and/or get too frustrated at
software vendors, does anyone have any recommendations for a fast
emulator for an XT-type PC with accurate emulation (any emulation would
be okay (except for "dumb" :-) )).
Please mail me recommendations -- I'll post a summary to the net.
Thanks in advance,
Robb

Well, PC-VT is the best Shareware VT emulator around!!! At least I like
to think that.
You can call the board and download it straight away. You can send me a
formatted 360K floppy and a self-addressed stamped floppy mailer and I
will send it. You can send me $9 and I will send it. Registration fee
after you try out the program is $35. Professional version upgrade is
+20 for manual and Tek 4010/14.
