I have connected my computer, a Compaq 386/25 running under Xenix, version 2.3 to a DG computer running AOS/VS. I use TERM from Century Software to communicate with it. This works fine for many things. Two deficiencies that bother me greatly are the delete key does not work and CEO doesn't work at all. Is there any software package that will allow me to run CEO? I realize Blast, SmartTerm, and CEO Connect are possibilities but I understand they only work under DOS. It seems like there should be a way to get the delete key to work with TERM using a character substitution but so far have not found any that works. Any suggestions? -- \ / C r o s s r o a d s C o m m u n i c a t i o n s /\ (602) 941-2005 300|1200|2400 Baud 24 hrs/day / \ hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!willis

I have had similar difficulties talking from 386/ix to AOS/VS. I am writing to warn people with similar difficulties about what not to do. Terminal emulators do not work under the DOS emulation package that came with 386/ix, so don't both attempting to run say Smartterm on top of VP/ix. My solution for the duration of the problem was to write a kludge 605x emulator program in C that used 2 processes, one for async->display and the other process for keyboard->async. It worked, but considerably more intelligence is required to emulate a D200+ at a level compatible with CEO, etc. The 605x emulation worked, ran SED, but was not of sufficient quality to want to share (I didn't even keep the source; it is buried somewhere at UCLA). DG is acutely aware of this problem, now that it is involved so heavily with the 88k. (this is inside info). I wouldn't be surprised if a quality solution is on the way.
