Hi Out there! I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with some info on the IBM Protocol WYSE50? Like, what does it stand for and what does it mean? A customer of ours has some IBMPS2 async terminals and would like to purchase and use the AT&T 6544 Cluster Controller 6539 color async terminals in place of the IBMPS2's. I believe the IBMPS2's do bulk file transfers, do they? Please reply to opus!kjc. Thanks in advance, Ken Castellano

I am sitting here typing on a Wyse 50. It is a terminal manufactured by Wyse. It uses escape sequences quite similar to the Televideo terminals which were popular in the early 1980's. It is not an ANSI 3.64 compatible terminal (the Dec VT220 is close). In any case, I suspect that you have uncovered an async compatibility mode in an IBM product which emulates (obviously) the Wyse 50 terminal. There are quite a lot of Wyse 50's out there although many of them say something else (OEM, OEM). I do not think it is an IBM protocol. It is a nice terminal (well, before windows anyway).
