Message-ID: <22233@looking.on.ca> Date: 26 Sep 89 20:36:22 GMT Organization: Looking Glass Software Limited, Waterloo ON Lines: 26 Class: query Any recommendations on a terminal program that would be good for using a PC as a terminal to Xenix or Unix 3.2? The following things would be desirable a) speed -- support 9600 bps on a PC. (19.2 would be nice, but I have yet to see one that will do this on a PC, other than by lots of buffering and ctrl-s) b) multiscreens -- the program should handle multiple screens, with cursor and attributes preserved over the screens, and a set of handy screen switching keys for use with the mscreen program. (Ideally, one should be able to define ALT-F1 etc. to do this.) c) scancode mode -- like a WYSE, so that it can be used with vp/ix etc. d) Some efficient smart mode that has a standard termcap. While ANSI would be nice, I would rather have a usable non-ansi that goes 19.2 or 9600 than an ANSI that goes more slowly. e) The ability to map \ to shift for those good feeling, but badly designed PC keyboards. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
