[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] ** PCS/TCP Terminal Emulation ** query

	If PCS/TCP is FTP Software's PC/TCP package then there is an
alternative in the offing soon. The PC/TCP package supports an Int 14h
Bios serial port hook permitting external terminal emulators to use the
Telnet communications path. Employing one of them then reduces the
applications keypad issue to finding a suitable emulator. MS Kermit does
that job fairly well and the next release will have VT320 support in
addition to VT102/VT52/Heath-19; it also can use that Int 14h hook. There
are other packages which I'm sure will do equally well.

"PC/TCP" is the FTP Software product.  "PCS/TCP" is what Bridge called
the TCP/IP that they did using their 68000-based PCS/1 smart board.  3Com
may still call the product that, or may have broadened it to include the
Stanford-derived code they sell for their other interfaces (also inherited
from Bridge).
