I had not considered such a minimal solution. I will have to see if our application can run under a VT emulation. What are the limitations of running Universe applications without a separate terminal emulator? Thanks, Vance

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). Barring screw-ups the user never enters terminal type because it's all sorted out automatically. Cheers, Wol
