Hi, Does anyone have or know of a terminal emulator which runs under GNU Emacs that emulates a (or even a variety of) standard terminal types? (particularly Sun and VT100)? The terminal.el that comes with Emacs defines its own type of terminal. We have some software that needs a particular type of terminal (doesn't pay attention to termcap) and would like to have Emacs availible within the terminal. It seems like one could use a keymap to map incoming escape (or whatever) control sequences to terminal lisp functions so by putting in a new keymap one could emulate a different terminal. This needs to work without X. (Yes, I know Emacs can't do reverse video (expect possibly theres a way to do it if you are under X)). If no one's done this, I probably will. Alan (Katz@ISI.Edu)

When I want to run emacs in a sun vt100 enviornment I use
vttool. I am not sure that this is what you want though.
