The pchar mask is to tell which characters are let through on the
console port. It's "printable characters".
Essentially, characters not in that mask just gets dropped without being
printed.
Will it affect escape sequences? Yes, if the escape character, or any
other character in that sequence are among the characters filtered out,
then you will not what you might be expecting.
As for "usable VT emulators", it all depends on what your expectations
and demands are.
Pretty much any terminal emulator will have some level of VT emulation
in there. But most of them have some bugs somewhere or another.
It you are really picky, then the only one I've found acceptable is
xterm, and the actual DEC terminal emulator in Pathworks.
But for most people, something like Putty works well enough.

Hi Y'all !!!
I am trying to set up a PDP-11 emulation using RT-11.....
I've set up a remote telnet console and I'd like to find out what VT
emulatior you find that works.
Here's my config file....
set console telnet=1111
set cpu 11/23+ 256K
attach LPT lpt.txt
set rl0 writeenabled
set rl0 rl02
attach rl0 rl0.dsk
boot rl0
When I sh console... this is what I get....
PDP-11 simulator V3.9-0
Listening on port 1111 (socket 136)
Disabling CR
Waiting for console Telnet connection
rt11.ini> boot rl0
Simulation stopped
sim> sh console
WRU = 5
BRK = 0
DEL = 10
pchar mask = 23600
Logging disabled
Listening on port 1111
Debug output disabled
My question is about the pchar mask.
What's it for?
Will it affect the escape sequences I need to emulate a VT?
Any help is much appreciated!
