Any recommendations on a terminal program that would be good for
using a PC as a terminal to Xenix or Unix 3.2?
The following things would be desirable
a) speed -- support 9600 bps on a PC. (19.2 would be nice,
but I have yet to see one that will do this on
a PC, other than by lots of buffering and ctrl-s)
b) multiscreens
-- the program should handle multiple screens, with
cursor and attributes preserved over the screens,
and a set of handy screen switching keys for use with
the mscreen program. (Ideally, one should be able
to define ALT-F1 etc. to do this.)
c) scancode mode -- like a WYSE, so that it can be used with
vp/ix etc.
d) Some efficient smart mode that has a standard termcap. While
ANSI would be nice, I would rather have a usable non-ansi that
goes 19.2 or 9600 than an ANSI that goes more slowly.
e) The ability to map \ to shift for those good feeling, but
badly designed PC keyboards.
