We use NCSA Telnet v2.3 on our Macs here. We also have Ultrix applications
that utilize vt220 terminal specific features.
Is there a vt220 emulation for NCSA Telnet? Are there any products available
that would enable us to telnet from our Macs w/ vt220 terminal emulation?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There are at least two other companies that I know of that are working on TCP/IP or Telnet connection tools. There is another company working on two file transfer tools - Kermit and ZMODEM - these should be released sometime this fall. Hope this helps. This is not an advertisement for MacTerminal 3.0.

Other applications supported are NNTP, finger, SLIP, SMTP/POP, FTP, etc... InterCon Telnet Driver will allow you to use Microphone II, VersaTerm Pro, and HP Business Session (TymLabs) over a telnet session. There are several TCP ctb Tools that are either on the market or are coming out soon, so keep your eyes open.

When Apple first announced the CTB, one of the first questions I asked was this one, and the responce at the time was NO WAY (followed by lots of implementation reasons that I won't go into). This applies to _ALL_ of the print related VTxxx sequences. I agree with you that this is a BIG problem for many, which is why I pushed Apple to at least THINK about it. One of my original proposals, which would be useful for other things, would be a 'callback' mechanism so that tools could let the application know that it encounted something that it didn't know about and 'Do you want to handle it?'. You could do this on the FRONT END to the tool, but inserting your own search strings for these sequences into the Connection Manager, but then you have to write the application...

The idea of using a callback (or callbacks) is being investigated. The CommToolbox should be considered to be a living architecture and will undergo enhancements/modifications. Input from the developer community will definitely by entertained (this is not a promise to implement, just a promise to listen) Byron Han CommToolbox Scapegoat
