135.0. "Terminal Emulator for NT v3.51?" by COPCLU::GREG (Greg Parker @DMO, 857-2454) Mon Feb 24 1997 04:55

	Hi,

	I have a PATHWORKS customer who is upgrading 800 users from 
	Windows to Windows NT v3.51 (they can't go to 4.0 right now).
	They have a maintenance contract, and have the right to use
	the new PATHWORKS32 client which isn't supported on v3.51.

	They need a terminal emulator.

	Given this situation, are there any terminal emulator bits 
	in the PATHWORKS32 kit that they can take out and run under NT 
	v3.51? If not, given that they are licensed to the PowerTerm
	emulator through the PATHWORKS32 product, are there any older 
	versions of PowerTerm, that will work in a NT 3.51 environment, 
	and does the PATHWORKS32 license cover that.

	Best regards
	Greg

135.1Try some tests on NT 3.51JOBIM::VUJNOVICI�t�r��t���l�z�t��L���l�z�t��Mon Feb 24 1997 05:3921
When you install PowerTerm 525 from the PATHWORKS32 client kit,
a demo version of PowerTerm Interconnect will be installed as well.

This product does not require any PATHWORKS 32 bits, and should work
fine on NT 3.51 and W95. Grab the files from \PTW\INTEL or \PTW\ALPHA
and run SETUP and you will end up with, among other things, an item
called:

    		    PowerTerm InterConnect 32-bit DEMO

that is good for 60 days.

After that, your customers will need to pay for it, or you may try working
out an arrangement with Ericom (contact Jeff DELNI::BABINGTON) to use this
version until they switch to NT 4.0.

You may also experiment with PATHWORKS 32 bits (only those needed by
VT320 and PowerTerm) on NT 3.51. It may work, but will not be supported.

Regards,
Slobodan

	Good news for them...  The new PATHWORKS 32 "System" license 
	that they will get as part of their New Versions contract for
	PATHWORKS for DOS and Windows is good for PATHWORKS V4.1B 
	for Windows NT which is supported on Windows NT V3.51.

	I would be supprised is the PATHWORKS 32 license would cover
	PowerTerm versions that are not part of any PATHWORKS release.
