Re: Brower based terminal emulator
More work one time vs more work everytime the system is used?? I meant this as a response to someones suggestion that they use wine to run a windows based terminal emulator on linux. To me, that makes no sense at all. Yes, the terminfo sources are a pain to setup right, but running wine for a terminal emulator will just make the system run slower and will make you look like a fool if another more savy consultant happens to wonder by. One of the benefits of using a system like UniVerse or UniData is that it allows for all sorts of different clients to use it. But, you do have to put in some effort, especially if your dealing with an older Pick app that was written with embedded terminal and printer codes. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/07/04 09:19PM >>> In a message dated 3/7/2004 7:59:40 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Edit the terminal sources on the Linux box then and make them do whatever > it > is you need them to do.

RE: Brower based terminal emulator
Well, if MS can't do it ... Don't forget - it was ME that wrote the pt250 emulation that ships with wIntegrate. And though I say it myself, it's good ... :-) (VMark screwed it up a bit with "improvements" :-) And I moved all our wIntegrate over to pt250 because I couldn't get vt100 to work ... Yup. I'm well aware vt100 emulation is a nightmare. However, I think you will find that some of the more obscure features are not implemented in genuine DEC vt100 terminals ... what do you think THAT does to any attempt to get good definitive emulation :-) Cheers, Wol -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 March 2004 03:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Brower based terminal emulator In a message dated 3/5/2004 5:58:24 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > Fire up an xterm, or konsole, or whatever you fancy, on the client > desktop.

Re: Brower based terminal emulator
I'll chime in on just using the Gnome terminal. I use it daily. If you use a current one (I'm most familiar with it under redhat) you may need to adjust the compatiblity settings and the character Compatablity settings. It works quite well for me. --Bill Anthony Youngman wrote: Not this old chestnut again !!! Fire up an xterm, or konsole, or whatever you fancy, on the client desktop. Telnet into the uv server, SET.TERM.TYPE VT100, and off you go. End of story. *ANY* linux command shell will almost certainly emulate a vt100 as its default setting. And if you have multiple emulators with multiple emulations, it's not that difficult to write a program that goes into LOGIN, fires off the "answerback" sequence to the terminal, and sets up the correct terminal type. Here we had a mix of wyse85s, pt200s and pt250s, and wIntegrate (we're now down to wIntegrate running pt250 emulation and the odd wyse in vt100 mode).

RE: Brower based terminal emulator
I downloaded and use a java-based telnet client that will also do SSH. It can be found at: http://mud.de/se/jta/, but in searching for this on Google by entering Java Telnet Application I also found this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jta/ which looks like the sourceforge entry for the one above and http://javassh.org/ I don't know what this one is. JTA has been pretty nice for our applciation, which is a text-based 'green screen' application. Let me know if you need help with it.
