I'm trying to log-on to a VAX 11/750 from my SUN3/140 thru the serial port on the workstation. What I need is analogous to a PC running a terminal emulation program (e.g. Kermit or vterm), acting as a dumb terminal on the VAX. Since I can get windowing capabilities thru Sunview, I would like to make one window emulate as a dumb terminal on the VAX. An easier way would be to network the two machines and telnet the VAX from the SUN; however we already have serial ports built into our lab for connecting to our VAX directly. Networking the machines would require additional effort to run an Ethernet cable from the SUN to the VAX (which is located in another lab one floor below mine). Is this possible without having to purchase any additional software for the SUN? If yes, how can it be done? If not, is there any software available or how can I code a routine to do it? Please mail my your logical suggestions. Thanks very much.
