Does anyone know how to connect the IBM PC to a computer
running UNIX ?
It seems that you can connect them using any standard
communications package( XTALK,PCTALK,IBM software etc.) that you
can buy for the IBM but the UNIX O/S does not know what type of
terminal the IBM PC is. This information is contained in the UNIX
variable TERM ,but as the IBM PC is not a standard terminal type,
TERM defaults to some other terminal type. This is just fine for
UNIX programs that do not use the screen, BUT, for all other
programs (e.g. emacs,rogue etc.,etc.) UNIX needs to know the type
of terminal it is connected to.
Can anyone help me?
Please reply in the newsgroup net.micro.pc
Thanking you in advance.
