Hi Gabe There is a guy who has written a terminal emulator with a bit of class. Its called BRIZ, the guy's name is Grygory Pryamov, and you can find him on Mytmppost [at] mail.ru.
He is really keen and willing to adapt his emulator to do what you want it to do. As a matter of interest he has also written an MV editor that supplies drop downs (like Visual basic) for the syntax of InfoBasic... quite neat!) Perhaps that would work for you Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gabriel Green Sent: 23 January 2008 05:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] Problems with disconnects - telnet I'll print out the manpage. vt100, unfortunately, is not an option; we need ADDS Viewpoint A2 Enhanced emulation that AccuTerm does. Now, I have (without involving screen) proxied telnet sessions by setting the TERM variable to addsvp and the enhanced mode (if I recall correctly) worked fine in AccuTerm. This will be an interesting project, indeed. Thanks for your help. I will probably create a demo account when I have time and see what I can do to make this work.
