We have a network with Vaxen, Suns, and Apollos with the Apollo
token-ring bridged over to the main Ethernet. The folks on the Apollos
run particular applications on one of the Vaxen (running Ultrix).
The Question: What is a good method for an Apollo user to access the
Vaxen over the net? Right now, they use telnet running under Apollo's
vt100 emulation tool. There is a major problem with this - the vt100
emulator does a poor job, getting confused frequently.
Does anyone have one of the following:
1. A termcap entry that works with the Apollo vt100 tool.
2. A way to use a regular Apollo window (termcap, advice, anything).
3. A public domain terminal emulator (vt100 preferred, but not required).
4. Some commercial software package that addresses this problem.
Can you plug a standard terminal into a serial port on a DN3000 class
machine, login to the Apollo, then telnet?
Any other suggestions? Any advice will be appreciated. The Apollo
systems are now running Sys10 (I'm not sure which sub-release).
Please reply via email.
