I don't get it. > > What *I* don't get is how someone can do a search on google and come back with a few web pages with all the keywords on it and assume that they've found the holy grail. If you were to actually *GO* and look on those pages (which I don't expect you to because you're not really interested) like I did (because I AM really interested,) you would see that the first one is a VERY long page with all the keywords in totally UNRELATED sections of the page. In short, nothing about a Linux terminal program that supports ReGIS. All the other pages mention WINDOWS based terminal emulation programs. In fact, I have found 4 very good companies that sell WINDOWS based terminal emulation packages that support ReGIS by using google and other search engines, long before I brought the question here. As for your second link, *IF* you had bothered to look at it (again, which I don't expect you to because you're not interested) you would have seen that it talks about attaching dumb terminals to Linux boxes, NOT emulating dumb or semi-dumb terminals using a Linux box. >From now on when I post a question here I will be sure to append a line to my sig to the effect: "Yes I searched Google before bringing the question to this forum."
