I am new to this so if this a FAQ please be gentle with the flames ... We have recently hooked up to the campus-wide fibre optic backbone using 10Base-T ethernet cards in AT's, PS/2's, etc. I started off with NCSA tn3270.exe since we have an IBM mainframe and was greatly pleased with the improvement over 9,600 bps modems. I was especially pleased with the results when I telnet'd to a Vax3400 in Ottawa (about 200 km) where previously we had used DataPac. I am running some molecular biology software there (the GCG package) which produces graphics output suitable for TEK4014 and TEK4107 terminal. Both NCSA and CUTCP tn3270.exe and telbin.exe fail to execute the plot test screen properly (i.e., a few stray characters and some lines incorrect - it's probably 99% OK). What can I do to get a better(?) TEK401x emulation? I should add that MSKERMIT 3.10 has no trouble with this test. Is it possible to run MSKERMIT under NCSA/CUTCP? (We are using Racal Interlan 6510 and 9520 cards on VGA equipped machines and using the drivers supplied with the cards.) Any other suggestions are welcomed. Thanx in advance.
