Hello,
presently I'm looking for a VT200 emulator to run on a SINIX machine.
The Siemens equipment is an MX300 type machine with 97801 and 97808
type terminals attached to it. The purpose of the VT200 emulation is to
provide the SINIX users with a means to communicate into the DEC world
and simultaneously allow these people to use compose characters like
� � � etc.
The VT100 emulation included in Telnet operations doesn't offer this
feature (but in Luxembourg people use English, French, German, ...) so
these compose characters are very important.
Does this help you to help me ?
Thanks and regards, Patrick

Patrick,
as in many other cases...
It will be very complicated to design the desired functionalities.
You will not be done with simply having the conversions for special
characters implemented, to really emulate an end device one must also
provide all the special functions found in a rather complex device like
the VT2xx.
Further, an appropriate method of communication must be devised, Your
VAX most likely will offer LAT services and thus a LAT client would
have to be implemented on the SINIX system.
If You go for TELNET -which You could implement on Your VAX using the
VMS/Unix connection- You must restrict to TELNET funcrionality, which
basically means "line oriented" operation.
A possible workaround would be to use the new terminal servers, which
would connect You to SINIX via TELNET and to VMS via LAT.

| 82.2 | EMVT from Conware ? | MUDIS3::RBOEDEKER | Tue Dec 18 1990 11:50 | 11 | |
Hi Patrick,
Conware offers a product called EMVT, that is a VTemulation for a
SINIX 97801 Terminal. I'll get a technical description of it within the
next days. Then I can see if it solves your problem.
If you want to contact Conware, here is the phone: x721-40907-0

| 82.3 | EMVT from Conware | MUDIS3::RBOEDEKER | Fri Jan 11 1991 14:29 | 26 | |
Today I've got the information from Conware.
EMVT is a VT200 terminal emulation for SINIX (SINIX Version 5.2 for
MX300 or MX500 and Version 2.1 for PC-MX2). It can be used with the
async. interface of the PC or communication REMOS (for example TCP/IP
rlogin or telnet). There is also a hardcopy function.
Not supported are:
-- 132 character /line
-- double height and double broad characters
-- G2 and G3 cahracter sets
-- 8-Bit character set
-- programmable function keys (UKD)
The keyboard layouts from the VT200 and the 97801 are described within
the documentation and the user can define the keymapping between the
two keyboards.
Even the product does not support our 8-Bit character set you should be
able to solve your problem with it.
Regards, Ralf
