I am using an Intel 310 xenix computer system (R3.4) and am calling out on the modem line. My local terminal is a wy50, but the system that I am calling into requires a vt100 terminal. Is there an way to have the cu command route information through the termcap entry for vt100 then back into the wy50 (Actually thinking about this I realize that its pretty impossible, but...) or is there some program that can use the modem line? If anyone has any information, could you mail it to the address below? Thanks for any help!

Me too! Any info would be appreciated, although I realize the chance is small. We use several different terminals, which may change from time to time, and it would be a great help not to have to issue new termcap/terminfo descriptions for any terminal we might use to ALL customer sites instead of just running the data through our information at our HOME site. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce T.

Seriously, there is a program that was posted to comp.sources called "screen" that did just that. In fact, you could have several screens up, also. It would make your terminal (in a roundabout way) look like a vt-100. Also included are utility code to write a vt-100 emulator. Since I have a vt-100 (or at least a Wyse-75) I don't need this, but you might ask around for it. Check some archives. -MikeP

I know this costs money, but there are some terminal emulation software packages available for XENIX. The one that comes to mind is Century Software's Term. It was not too expensive and in an early version it looked pretty solid. They advertise in UNIX Review and UNIX World so you can get the info from there. (My backissues are not here at home.) Mark T.

Is there any way to get the termcap system to work on incoming as well as outgoing translations. That is, take the characters going in, convert them to the termcap representation then back to the terminal on which you are connected? This is becoming a problem as now I also need to emulate an IBM 3101 terminal (is that the right number?) -- ..!csustan ->!polyslo!mdella | mdella@polyslo | Whatever I said doesn't ..!sdsu ---/ Marcos R.

As long as you are using cu to access another UNIX system, all you should have to do is set your terminal type on the remote UNIX to the type of your local terminal, and you won't need to do any converting. When it comes to other systems though, you might need such a beast. -- Wolf N.

It is 100% accurate as far as we know. LSE works, DEC-DEMO, and ALL-IN-1. And it will work from the WY-50. Highlighting can be had with a bit of termcap-twiddling, as the wy50 is usually SG#1. | Terry Lambert UUCP: ...!decvax!utah-cs!century!terry | | @ Century Software or : ...utah-cs!uplherc!sp7040!obie!wsccs!terry | | SLC, Utah | | These opinions are not my companies, but if you find them | | useful, send a $20.00 donation to Brisbane Australia... | | 'There are monkey boys in the facility.

I once had to connect to a DEC machine running VMS that seemed fixated on vt100 terminals. I was stuck on a tvi920 (or somesuch). I found a program called vtem, I think, which made whatever terminal you were on emulate a vt100 by interpreting all output and converting it using termcap/curses. It spawned a shell internally. I then used to run it then call cu. Seemed to work ok. I can't find my sources for vtem anymore. But I dare say a request on the net.. You'll then have all the fun of making it emulate the terminal you want :-). Lee. -- UKUUCP SUPPORT Lee McLoughlin "What you once thought was only a nightmare is now a reality!"
