Netlanders,
I need a little help, direction, advise with a problem I'm
sure someone out there can shed some light on.
Backround:
We are using thick Ethernet to connect +60 pc's in three
attached buildings (read logically 1 building) to 2 Netware file
servers. Sytek 4140 multi-protocol cards are installed in all the
pc's except for the micro-channel machines, where Western Digital
etherplus/a cards are installed. Sytek (now Hughes LAN Systems),
installed a bridge and fiber optic repeater to attach this to the campus
fiber backbone. Attached to the other end of the fiber is one of the
schools five Prime mini-computers. Sytek also provided it's version of FTP
inc.'s TCP/IP software. I have been able to attach to the Prime using
the fiber and vt100 emulation over telnet.
Problem:
Some of the software on the Prime has been customized to only
work with Prime pt200 and pt250 terminals. (Don't bother asking why,
It's a long story... I just have to make it work).
Question(s):
Does anyone make a pt200 TCP/IP emulation product? Is there a
'generic' emulation product I should try? If I provide a termcap file
can a product be made? If so by whom? Can I get C code and adapt it
myself? Since the vice-president wants this right away should I look
for another job?
Thanks in advance, Digitally,
Cliff

In this version, you can use TNGLASS with any emulator that loads as a DOS "console" driver (like ANSI.SYS). As of 2.04 (which we ship this week, but Sytek may lag a bit with), TNGLASS also supports emulating BIOS serial line services on INT 14, so you could use emulators which work that way, too. I can't supply the emulator, though. -- James B. VanBokkelen 26 Princess St., Wakefield, MA 01880 FTP Software Inc. voice: (617) 246-0900 fax: (617) 246-0901
