[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] PC Telnet with Tek Graphics emulator

ROODE@BIONET-20.ARPA (David Roode) (09/23/87)

We have need of a PC Telnet implementation which includes
having the terminal emulation component cover Tektronics
4014-style graphics.  Since this is a quite common feature
in terminal emulators for an RS232 port, it seems
reasonable that it would be available for TCP Telnet
as well.  Does anyone have any pointers?

Many people require terminal emulators that exist in the RS232 realm to
work on Telnet. One solution to this problem is the product BWCOM from
Beame & Whiteside software Ltd. . It allows interupt driven RS232
terminal emulators to run Telnet over an ethernet. The serial terminal
emulator thinks it's talking to a Hayes compatible modem.

This looks like a very interesting product.  How could one get in touch
with B&W Ltd. to get more info and also possibly purchase the product?

Our PC/TCP comes with "glass" versions of Telnet and Rlogin.  These contain
no terminal emulation of their own, and do all I/O via the MS/DOS console
devie (CON).  If a terminal-emulating device driver is present (like
ANSI.SYS), whatever emulation it provides is passed the Telnet data stream,
and keyboard input gets passed through it too.

We don't sell any drivers to go with this, but we do have one public-domain
one that we provide on request (for an HP26?? terminal), and there is at least
one commercial Tek emulator (from Grafpoint, it does a 4105) which is known
to work with our stuff.  NANSI works, too, and I would expect anything else
that loads as a device driver for CON to work (subject to the lamentable fact
that very few Telnets are able to pass 8-bit data).
