Subject: Term 2.3's VT100 emulation and PF keys
Summary: How do I get PF01 through PF03
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana
Date: Fri, 6 Nov 1992 04:21:08 GMT
Keywords: VMD, Term, VT100

	I am using Term 2.3 on my Amiga 2000 to dial up to an IBM VMD.
Everthing works just fine.  When I set "Emulation Parameters" keypad
mode to "Applications", I get the special VT100 function keys
mapped to the numeric keypad.  However, where it seems like
PF01 through PF03 should be mapped to the ( ) / keys, I only get
those charaters, not the PF key definitions.  Anyone
have any idea how to get these special keys in applications mode?
(I am using the international version of Term 2.3)

thanks in advance,

The way I'd like to do things is to not have GPFax running, have getty
answer the phone, execute a script to start GPFax, and then send a
RECEIVENOW, then terminate GPFax.

I have a script that should do this, but when GPFax gets the RECEIVENOW
command, I get Mr. Nasty Guru.

I do some memory intensive stuff during the day, and don't want GPFax
running all the time, thus the reasoning for this.

   The application to send the text. Apparently it does not send the text in a
single line, but rather sends terminal control codes between the single characters.

I am not alone in my interpretation, as you seem to be trying to
indicate.  I'm just being vocal about it, that's all.  Most people
probably just don't care, and I'm rapidly coming to that point myself.

>However, in this discussion, you've seen many examples of people

I am not trying to claim that baud == bps, because I know they are not
the same thing.  What I am saying is that the word "baud" has a "loose"
interpretation and a "strict" interpretation.  The loose interpretation
is used by the majority of modem USERS when they wish to tell someone
else how fast they can move data from one place to another.  The strict
interpretation is used by modem BUILDERS and communications specialists
talking to one another about signals on a transfer medium.  It is a
useless interpretation for the casual user.

Apparently the strict interpretation is also used by UseNet users to try
to make it appear that lots of other people are fools and idiots because
they "don't know what the word really means," when in actuality they are
simply using the term in a looser fashion than it was originally intended.
Big deal.  No one is trying to take your precious word away from you.

>Now, I don't want to attack your right to be illiterate, but don't you
>think you're being a bit silly?

I assume that's a loose interpretation of the word "illiterate," since
if I were truly illiterate I would not have been posting in the first
place.

I am not being silly.  If Joe Bob User says to you, "I have a 2400 baud
modem," do you look at him with a horrible expression of consternation
because he has given you no information whatsoever as to how fast his
modem can send data from one place to another?  More likely you just
assume he means his modem can send data at 2400 bps.  This is normal and
probably exactly what Joe Bob intended, therefore communication has
occured.  There is nothing silly about it.

Look, it's pretty darn simple.  I let people use my computer system via
modem.  If they do not supply me with thier *real* name and a *voice*
phone number where I can reach them and validate them, then they do
*NOT* get access to *MY* system.  Since my system offers free Internet
Mail and Usenet access, I have a need to know who my users are and be
able to contact them in case of problems.

I had a couple of problems with a couple of users sending nasty mail to
NASA and one transferring confidential company documents via the
networks.  In both cases I had Security officers from the respective
companies call me since my system is registered with the NIC and is
listed in the UUCP_Maps.

I cooperated completely with the users full name, address and phone
number so that these people could call them.  Sorry, but when it comes
to someone taking my computers away I'm going to do whatever is needed
to prevent that.

Caller ID just makes the process of obtaining information from your
users easier and it keeps them honest.  If a user doesn't want to
provide this information then they will not be using any of my systems
and I suggest that other network sysops do the same.

This rediculous idea that your phone number and name isn't already in
the hands of tons of agencies is just juvenile.  People already have
your number and BBS sysops have more business than most knowing your
phone number.

I have just brought a CBM A2232 multiport serial card and am having trouble
with it. I cannot get it to drop the DTR to hang up the modem. Also once
the Terminal program, trapdoor ,etc is off the line then the DTR is still
up on the modem.
Does anyone know how to get this to work (if at all)

Also I have it set up with Trapdoor answering the calls. If the user
presses escape twice then it should start DLG. This works perfectly on the
standard serial port but fails on the A2232 ports.

One last thing. Is the highest speed 19,200 or 115,000 odd. The manual
mentions one thing and the disk says the other.

None of the BBS's I call here in Sweden does that kind of stupid thing. 
It's either ISO, straight 7bit or IBM. Nothing else. Perhaps you should 
consider either to stop calling those boards (probably runnung on some 
crappy software like AmiExptess, Paragon or CNet) or send mail to the 
sysop and complain about that he/she uses a non existing charset.

I'm a non-sysop, and I received the card a few weeks back, sent them
a check, and received it 2 weeks later. If you didn't receive the
update card (and sent it back), then they don't know you own the modem,

*sigh* Why is it that people seem to totally miss the point of what I am
saying?  Are people on the net really that stupid, or is it just that I'm not
explaining myself clearly?

YES, I F*CKING UNDERSTAND THAT ECS HAS LIMITATIONS IN BLITTING THINGS ON A
16 COLOR HIRES INTERLACE SCREEN.  I also understand that CPUblit is not a magic
cure.

However, do YOU understand that CPUBlit does improve the performance of Term
2.4 significantly the first time I run Term?  And that after I exit Term and
start it up again, CPUBlit suddenly stops working?  Do you understand this?
Do you?  Good.  Then stop getting off the topic and start posting something
relevant.  If I wanted to hear about the limitations of ECS I wouldn't need to
get it from the net, I could read a spec sheet.

What I would LIKE to hear is why this happens.  Is it a bug in CPUblit that
only appears under Amigados 3.0 on a 3000?  Is it a bug in Term 2.4 that only
shows up under these (admittedly strange) circumstances?  One of the two
programs is doing something screwy.  I honestly am not sure which, but I think
it bears looking into, since this seems to be a side effect of Term 2.4's
cleanup before exiting.  (Otherwise, why would Term 2.4 run fine with CPUblit
once and not again unless I reboot the machine?)

(Incidentally, I'm not using an overscanned screen.  REPEAT, NOT using
overscan.)

(Ranting over.)

True indeed.  That electrical signal has entered my property.  I also have a
right to know who is signaling me - same as having a right to look out my
door and see who is there.  If you want to talk to me, I want to know who
you are, otherwise, don't bother - you've a right not to call too.  

Actually, the phone company keeps records on all calls anyways, so caller ID
is nothing new.  It just places the info in the users hands immediately,
instead of a short wait on the phone company records.

   I am not responsible for the lacks of the xemibm.library implementation.
As for the translation table settings, `term' comes with the following
sample tables:

   ISO 10 (Sweden)
   ISO 11 (Sweden)
   ISO 15 (Italy)
   ISO 16 (Portugal)
   ISO 17 (Spain)
   ISO 21 (Germany)
   ISO 4  (Great Britain)
   ISO 60 (Norway)
   ISO 61 (Norway)
   ISO 69 (France)

   These tables are set up for 7 bit characters. Choose the one you find
suitable.

Try using AT&Tx.  The command ATT just tells the modem to use tone
