| 3715.1 | Try ProComm? | LEDS::ACCIARDI | Larger than life, and twice as ugly | Wed Apr 25 1990 09:37 | 6 |
|
I've used ProComm on a VaxMate, and it seemed like a very good VT200
emulator. I don't know where it came from, but NAC::IBMPC may be of
some help. I _think_ it's PD/shareware.

| 3715.2 | Not as easy as AMIGAdos | ISIDRO::JIMENEZ | | Thu Apr 26 1990 12:36 | 10 |
| Thanks for your help Ed. Actually, ProComm is not PD according to
the info on NAC::IBMPC. I've posted notes on a couple of MS-DOS
related conferences, will see.
I'm not prepared to pay 250$+ for a comm program, on the other side
it's difficult to survive with a limited VT52 emulator!

| 3715.3 | Telex is better | SHARE::DOYLE | | Thu Apr 26 1990 12:20 | 6 |
| I have a pd program called Telex, it's alot like procomm and exceeds
the 19.2 kbaud transfer rate and supports Zmodem, if there is interest,
I'll ul it to tape along with the pkunpak.exe it needs to unpack it.

| RE: .2 Procomm is Shareware and is available on BBSes everywhere.
There is an enhanced version called Procomm+ that can be had for
about $65 at you nearest MS-DOS toy store.
Another real good shareware product is called Telemate. It happens
to have ZMODEM built-in - something that Procomm and Procomm+ do
not have.

| 3715.5 | What about VT240 | WELMTS::FINNIS | Peter Finnis at Welwyn | Thu Apr 26 1990 17:19 | 8 |
| Don't Dec do a vt240 emulator for the PC.??
Not sure if it does upload/download though . I used it on a vaxmate
because in 132 mode you had to keep shifting the screen to read
all the columns ?

| It seems to me that one or more of the MS-DOS KERMIT implementations
does a reasonable VT220 emulation. The price is right.

| re .5:
the DEC PC VT240 emulator (SETHOST.EXE) only does VT240 graphics on a
VAXmate. Its VT220 (text only) on non-VAXmate MS-DOS PCs.
On the VAXmate 132 column is done by screen shifting in text mode and
132 column on screen when in text and graphics mode.
On PCs with video hardware that offers a hardware 132 column mode
SETHOST can be configured to switch into and out of that mode using
whatever mechanism that particular video vendor chose since 132 column
is not a 'standard' offered by IBM so there was nothing to clone from.
SETHOST only has raw text upload and download since its part of a
network kit that already has file transfer in it.
The latest MS-DOS KERMIT MSVIBM.EXE offers VT320 emulation with SIXEL
graphics support. I've used it for a little bit, but now mostly use
sethost for dialing in and floppies via Crossdos for downloads.
But as .6 pointed out the price is right.

p.s. I'm still hunting for a reasonable (as defined by my
likes/dislikes, VT2xx or VT3xx terminal emulator for the Amiga)
