IBM Emulation
My department has been tasked with trying to find an alternative to Windows in our organization. I can get the normal workplace items, spreadsheets, word, etc taken care of, but I have one issue that eludes me. We have an application server running on an IBM RS6000 running AIX 4.3 that requires IBM 3151 terminal emulation. Is there anyone that has successfully been able to utilize a termcap for the IBM3151 so that the character sets and function keys map accordingly when using an xterm session to an IBM RS6000 system running AIX?

The naive approach would be to copy the IBM3151 definition from the termcap on AIX to FreeBSD. I took a look on the AIX 4.3 (and 5.1) machines that I have access to and there is no such definition. What do you currently set your TERM variable to on AIX to get the desired emulation? -- Matt Emmerton ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps the question should be does the application specifically require a 3151 terminal?

Re: IBM Emulation
Currently, we use ProComm for Win95 and 2k with a VT100 emulation in conjunction with a vendor provided keyboard and translation file that they won't part with. I've also tested TinyTerm and it utilizes when in IBM3151 emulation mode, it provides the same translations as ProComm and it's combined translation file. After speaking with a few of the field techs, I was told that anything that can provide an IBM3151 terminal emulation will work properly. On my aix system, under /src/misc/terminfo there is an entry named ibm3151.ti. Under my FreeBSD 4.8 system, within /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo I have a terminal file for the ibm3151 and within /usr/compat/linux/etc/termcap there is an entry for ibm3151 but I'm uncertain how to utilize that within the FreeBSD environment. I've tried importing the ibm3151 termcap entry into my FBSD termcap and rehashing the termcap database but it garbles once I get into the ibm environment. I'm wondering if I may actually need to get some sort of terminal emulator for BSD instead of a straight telnet session. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration Cancer Care Network 405-733-2230 - Original Message - From: Matthew Emmerton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Micheal Patterson [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 6:18 PM Subject: Re: IBM Emulation My department has been tasked with trying to find an alternative to Windows in our organization.

Re: IBM Emulation
I have successfully used AlphaCom from http://www.omnicomtech.com It has IBM3151 emulation built in. Cost is about $25. per user and is (in my opinion) the best terminal emulator for Microsoft WinBlows out there.
