[comp.unix.i386] term entry for procomm +

tron1@tronsbox.xei.com (HIM) (07/17/90)

I run a UNIX box for public access here in NJ and have a slight problem..

Many of my DOS users call in with Procomm and Procomm + , the ANSI-BBS mode
on this is non-standard and the VT-100 is the pits.

Has anyone custom-build a terminfo/termcap entry for this software ?

I run a UNIX box, which I routinely (daily) call with a DOS machine running
Procomm+, and I find the vt102 mode to be great.  I had BIG troubles using
it until I turned off the "destructive backspace" setting in setup.  I think
it was in the terminal emulation section of the setup.  Once I did that, I
was able to edit fine using vi.  What problems are your DOS users having with
Procomm?

Well, I get un-reliable sceen displays in VI most of the time ... I cant
tell you WHY .. but the new terminfo entry I was sent solved it.

Procomm problem....


Here is a termcap that I was sent that should solve all the pcomm vt100/ansi-
bbs emulation problems.

For those that run UNIX BBS's this is a BIG problem.

I am posting it here as my email requests topped 50!
