Is there escape codes for vt100 compatable terminals to move to and/or
write to the status line.  If so, will it also work under MS-Kermit?

Since multiple "no" answers have been posted, I feel compelled to post
this one also.  Which is that *some particular models* of terminal are
best left on.  In particular, most of the terminals here at SoftQuad a few
years ago were HDS 200's, and their power supplies would fail regularly.
We did an experiment where we left all the terminals on all the time in
half of the office, and the power supply failures stopped in that half
and continued in the other half.  We felt this was sufficiently conclusive
to have all the HDS 200's left on all the time, and while the failures
did not quite stop altogether, they became a lot less frequent.

Terminals that do not have that sort of flaw, though, probably do better
to be turned off.

How about an IBM4xxx (forget digits)? I have a friend in China
who asked me to look for a package which could emulate an IBM4xxx
(I do not know IBM terminals but assume this is some follow-on
to 3270?).

This may be a FAQ but here goes.  I have just purchased a QUME qvt 100 minus
documentation.  I am having trouble getting it to emulate any of the
protocols that the University mainframe has that I'm attempting to connect
to.  If you have ever used one of these could you send me any info on it?
The emulations that it has are t101+, HZ1500, ADM-5A, TVI910, TVI920,
TVI925, and ADDSVP.  The main emulations that the mainframe has are VT100,
VT102, VT202, VIP7201, HP44, Att630 and la36/120.  If anyone has any advice
on connecting the two please email me.

Sorry, i can't tell you about termcap, but we switched our A210+ to
televideo 925 emulation with TERM=tvi925. Works quite well. VT100
would be *much* better, though... ;-)

I didn't try any of the emulations the Ampex terminal offers, because
I believe it should be possible to use it as an Ampex -    ;o)
In the meantime I used a termcap entry for the Ampex created at Berkeley to
build my own gettytab entry.  Everything works fine -
except:

I cannot use ^C or ^Z to interrupt processes or the cursor keys to
scroll through the command history of my BASH shell.  It seems as if
the Ampex terminal catches this sequences instead of sending'em to
the host. (?)
I'd be glad if anyone could help me in solving this (hopefully) last :-)
problem in installing the Ampex210/Ampex210Plus terminal.

Thanks in advance,
 Markus

Someone I know was recently given an ADM-2 terminal.  It's incredibly heavy
but it seems to work.  The problem is that it isn't sending ASCII codes for
CR, LF, Tab, etc.  Instead it's sending a control character sequence with
everything prefixed by ^A.  Does anyone know how to get this thing to 
transmit the proper ASCII codes for these keys?

The other day I had to replace our VT100 terminals connected
to /dev/ttya and /dev/ttyb of our SPARCstation2 by 
terminals called 'AMPEX 210 plus'.  Although there is an existing
entry in our termcap, so it should be possible to use 'ampex210'
for type in the /etc/ttytab, we are not able to work on these 
AMPEX terminals after we logon.  The only thing happening is
beeping and beeping after each key pressed.  
But if you run the 'screen VT100/ANSI emulator' right after
login in your shell resource file,  there're no problems at all.

I would be pleased if anyone could give me the correct termcap
entry or any other hint.

	It's starting to look like Wyse just doesn't offer the reliability
one might expect from a market leader. We purchased a dozen of their 
150 model terminals and suffered failures in three of them in the first few
months. That was quite unlike our earlier experience with Altos-labeled
termnals (which I thought were manufactured by Wyse) some years ago. *Those*
units were so reliable we didn't bother with maintenance contracts. Our
most recent purchases involved Hewlett Packard's 700/60 terminals. They've
proven more capable than the Wyse, and none have failed so far. Quite
nicely priced to boot.

Why would anyone buy the manual when you can get it by anonymous FTP
from watsun.cc.columbia.edu in postscript form already?  Just download
the manual and dump it into your pscript laser printer and you have
a very professional-looking manual for the cost of a download.

Does anybody out there:

  1. have a termcap entry for a Philips P 2711 terminal?
     I'm using one for a TeleVideo 925, which is close, but
     not quite there...

  2. know of a closer match than the tvi925 entry?

  3. have a list of the control codes for the thing? This would
     be ideal...

Please mail replies, I will summarise and post.

Cheers,

John P
