[comp.soft-sys.andrew] VUI & Terminal Emulation

rnott@LTERNET.WASHINGTON.EDU (Rudolf Nottrott) (11/06/90)

When accessing VUI over a dial-up connection, so far I have only been
able to use a VT52 emulator (Procomm in VT52 setup).  Other emulators,
such as H19 or VT100 would not work correctly.  

There must be a way to set up VUI such that it can talk to a VT100, or
some of the other common terminals.  Can somebody tell me how to go
about this?

	The last  PD version of  Procomm had a  horribly  broken VT100
emulation  mode built into  it, and I'd bet  that is what your problem
is. The last time I had to use  a PC for  remote access  I  used Telix
3.12 without any emulation problems. You should be able to find a copy
on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil or grape.clarkson.edu (it's  a step up  from
Procomm in other regards as well).

I too have had problems with VUI, with both xterm (X11R4) on my Sun and
with Versaterm on a Mac.  I get strange displays and message contents
after editing.  In particular, I typed (as a message body):

    one, three, five^A^OThis is a test

and expected to get

    This is a testone, three, five

But instead got the following
