The FTP telnet software that is used with these boards is totally inadequate for teaching and scientific use. There is no scrollback or no tek emulation for instance. I called Univation to try to get info but no one there knew about TCP/IP. They only wanted to talk about Novell. I also tried several times to call FTP but was never able to get through. The much better public domain telnets such as from NCSA, which have all the desired extensions for PC based terminal emulation, do not support the Univation boards. Does anyone know of telnet software with the normally accepted terminal emulation extensions that will work with the Univation boards in PC and PS2 machines?
