Actually, I am using VP/ix on Interactive Unix (AT&T Unix). We run serial
terminals off the unix box. The serial terminals are actually "stripped down"
PC's booting DOS and running terminal emulation software emulating the Wyse60
terminal in PC TERM personality. The result is, while running a DOS
application, the appearance of the PC console to the user whether on the actual
console or at a serial terminal. For the user, the display and keyboard on the
dumb terminal appear exactly as expected.
As Dosemu cannot properly handle the serial terminal case and as Dosemu has
other limitations in its present state, I have not been able to replace the
Interactive Unix system with Linux.
But the Dosemu developers have produced amazing results when it comes to the
capability of Dosemu to handle a graphic intensive application at the console.
I do not buy support for VP/ix so I do not know about support for it. I believe
that Sunsoft still sells Interactive Unix.
Cheers,
Robert
