Hi, Anybody out there know of a telnet that emulates an HP 262x (or any other) terminal? It can be PD or commerical. I'm talking about a telnet client for a PC (I'm assuming HP has a telnet server). Any info about TCP/IP support on an HP machine would be very helpful. Thanks in advance, Roy Tarantino ...!pyrnj!syntrex!roytar

If no one has an HP 262x TELNET and you have access to a HP 262x serial terminal emulator, you might want to consider BWCOM from Beame & Whiteside Software Ltd. BWCOM allows most serial terminal emulators to run TELNET TCP/IP on ethernet. - Carl Beame Beame@McMaster (Bitnet) Beame@McMaster.CA

HP did a program that allows programs written for the HP150 to be run on normal IBM PCs. It can be loaded as a driver for DOS's CON device, and so it works with our 'glass' telnet and rlogin. I don't know exactly which kind of HP terminal this winds up emulating (maybe a 2622?), the documentation only talks about the 150. The program is public-domain, but I don't know where it might be obtained from besides HP (distributing p-d software isn't our line of business). It is called PCAIOS, and the distribution I have seen includes source. James VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc.

Distributing public domain software *is* part of FTP Software's line of business. FTP offers a disk (part number PC-800) with some public domain software (name servers, time servers, replacement TFTP server for BSD Unix) priced at roughly production cost. If someone could get hold of the emulator, it would make a good addition to this disk. - john romkey -------

I am assuming that by HP systems you mean 3000s with MPE. HP 9000 systems running HP-UX have all the 4.3 BSD features and then some. For MPE systems Wollongong, Palo Alto, Ca. provides telnet service with a product called WIN/TCP for MPE/V. With regard to HP terminal emulation I suggest two solutions for MPE systems. One would be Preview, a product by Tymlabs of Austin, Texas (512) 478-0611. Preview provides similar services to the Unix termcap facility for MPE systems. Preview supports close to one hundred terminal types and probably includes PC monitors and keyboards. The main thrust of the product is to allow you access to your VIEW or block mode applications on the 3000. As for a true terminal emulation for PCs may be you haven't tried hard enough with HP. I would think HP would offer some type of emulation for their Vectras. I have heard tales about a fellow named Richard Gillmann who developed an HP terminal emulation for PCs on behalf of DARPA years ago. His product was called VDTE, his company was called Interloop Software (213) 822-2880.

I investigated further on the PCIAOS HP150 terminal emulator I posted about last week; it isn't public domain after all. Try your HP rep. jbvb
