That would be a neat trick - the Borg Emulator; you just set your TERM variable to the desired terminal and it uses advanced heuristics to dial the original manufacturer of that terminal, download a description of the escape sequences the terminal accepts, and automagically figure out how to emulate it. :-) Needless to say, that's not how this works. If you can recompile a kernel for yourself (and see the Handbook as to how) then you could always use the optional pcvt console driver which emulates the VT220 - a VT100 superset. If that's beyond you, you could always just start up X and use an xterm - xterm emulates a VT100 just fine. - Jordan > > If this is not the case, then how do I start a vt100 telnet sesion ??? > > Regards, Brendan. > > ----------------- > > On Thu, 28 May 1998, Jordan K.
