You can try to do this the hard way and face lack of success, or
you can do this the easy way, which is perhaps not as elegant but
it's a fast and effectice solution.
The hard way: try to come up with scripts that will return useful
information from specific emulators without messing up any other
emulators. You can probably create a single script for any two
emulators, but that's pushing it, and three may be too much to
ask.
IF you've got decent emulators (like Wintegrate) this way is easy. It's
when you've got real terminals it's a problem.
As I said, luckily I had a sequence that would provoke a response from
both *real* wyse85s and *real* pt2x0s. I then just added the correct
answerback responses to Wintegrate's pt250 emulation so that worked,
too.
Wintegrate has a definition that says "when the host sends sequence X,
eat it and reply with sequence Y". The user *can* muck things up, but we
never had any trouble.
Cheers,
Wol
