I am a relative UNIX novice with a question about telnet: Do the standard telnets that come sith Sys V or BSD do VT100 emulation, or do they just pass data transparently back to the terminal? We don't have our Unix system yet (not sure what we are going to buy), but we have people that will be logging in from all kinds of different terminals. We would then like to be able to telnet from the unix system to a VAX running VMS, and run an application that REQUIRES vt100 terminal emulation. Will telnet do the translation for them, or do we need some other software? Any and all replies appreciated. -- ============================================================= Brian McBee (503)378-4276 brianop@opac.UUCP Oregon State Library, State Library Building, Salem, OR 97310 =============================================================

Perhaps get "screen2" from the comp.sources.unix archive e.g., on
uunet.uu.net. Only works on BSD/Sun unix though.

You can also use the program "vtem", which is somewhere in a
comp.source archive. A newer version, updated by jqj@hogg.cc.uoregon.edu,
is included in in my vttool program (available via ftp on
titan.rice.edu, ~/sun-sources/vttool.shar.?)
This program should run on almost any terminal, and it passed the
vttest program. It does use pty's and is written for berkeley unix.
If you are running X or SunView - the rest of the vttool package
can provide a window-based panel for clicking function keys your
terminal might not have. It also does keyboard remapping.
It requires SunView or XView libraries.
