Under AOS/VS 7.69 I get VT100 translations through a plain old > LAC-12 (IAC-12) board in an MV2000/DC. That only thru a termserver stuff > may be valid for TELNET sessions though. I had followed up on this via e-mail but I guess it's time to shoot my mouth off to a larger audience. Adding Vt-100 support required some substantial changes to the IAC firmware. However, some of the older IAC's did not have enough memory available to load the additional code and support the new features. As a result, I believe that VT-100 suport is only available on the various "new generation" IAC cards (the ones based on the 68k not the uEclipse). This would be the IAC 24, the newest IAC 8 (I bielieve there are three kinds), the term server cards and the LAC12
