[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Request for VT220-emulation

wild@pcsbst.UUCP (wild) (05/23/89)

We need a VT220-emulation running under DOS on top of PC-NFS or
FTP/TCP. Any hints or recommendations on available products are
welcome.

Please respond via E-mail to

Excelan and FTP Software both offer VT220 emulations with their respective
DOS TCP/IPs (ours is only in v2.0).  I don't know details of theirs, ours
supports 8-bit controls if the telnet connection can negotiate the Binary
option, and supports the DEC ISO Latin characters you probably want.  Ours
also supports up to 10 simultaneous sessions, and has a built-in FTP server.

If you want something fancier, look into Walker, Richer & Quinn's Telnet
Manager, or Distributed Computing Systems's EM220 package; both are
available in versions for various DOS TCP/IP packages.

If you already have an async terminal emulator you like, and it can either
load as a console driver (like ANSI.SYS) or operate via the BIOS asynch
INT 14 interface, it will work with our TNGLASS (the INT 14 version hasn't
made it into the documentation yet; it will be bundled later this summer
but right now it is separate, $40 extra).  Beame & Whiteside's BWTEL also
works with INT 14-based emulators.
