Does anybody know exactly what I need to do to get Window 3.0 terminal emulator to be able to talk to Unix and pay attention to Unix CURSES so that I can use it to read an post notes? More detail: I would like to be able to use terminal.exe to dial into a Unix box. I managed to do this at one time but when I tried to read note I got a bunch of escape sequences and it looked, in general, pretty ugly. I have a 286 Classic Vectra. I configured it as a Generic TTY. I am logging into a Unix box at work.

As an alternative to TERMINAL.EXE, you might try FTPing WinQVT from cica.cica.indiana.edu -- I just got the latest version, 4.65, from the uploads directory (yeah, I know, but I'm impatient.) TERMINAL.EXE DOES have VT100 emulation, but it has some bugs. Configuring it as a generic TTY won't work, though, since that means it doesn't understand escape codes. There are a few other VT100 emulators for Windows, but I have been using WinQVT for a while and it works for me. Later, Adam Elman elmanad@leland.stanford.edu

I would strongly recommend you configure for VT100 instead, generic tty is pretty basic. Once you get to unix you'll have to configure TERM as follows: TERM=vt100 export TERM tset And that should solve your notes problems. Regards, Dan.

Now how can I get it to do the fancy "dialup & logon sequence" automagically? I am currently using Reflections and it has a little command language that I have written a script to dial up and logon for me. All I do is click on my Reflections icon, go get a drink, and let it handle the logon sequence. Note that this dialup/login thing is complicated by the fact that I dial up one of those callback type of systems. Also, how should I configure this thing. I tried this out and it does indeed help with curses(3) applications but when I maximized the window it didn't adjust. I have a script on the Un*x box I login to that sets the LINES and COLUMNS but it doesn't like vt100's I guess (it uses /usr/bin/X11/resize but resize just times out). I believe I also set LINES and COLUMNS themselves but it didn't seem to help. Any help would be appreciated.

Make shure that your terminal type is 'vt100' (System V: TERM=vt100), and that the emulation mode of W3-TERMINAL is set to 'vt100', then everything should work proper ...
