[comp.protocols.ibm] IBM Terminals emulating VT100s

OSPWD@EMUVM1.BITNET ("Peter W. Day") (12/02/89)

Communications Week 11/27/89 p.24 reports that Interlink Computer Sciences
has a product, SNS/VT Release 2, which enables IBM terminals to emulate
DEC's VT52, VT100 and VT220 terminals, and includes 132-column support,
and multi-national character support for nine languages.

The article also reports that they have an SNS/NETconnect product that
lets IBM's mainframe-based Netview manage DECnet networks.

In addition to Interlink, Intel and Mitek have products that allow a 3270
type terminal to emulate a ascii full screen terminal(eg. vt100).  The
Intel and Mitek products use TCP/IP and telnet to communicate with the
non-IBM systems.  The Intel and Mitek solutions use a hardware box
that contains the TCP/IP interface.  There are other products that
provide similar functionality using X.25.
