I have always been confused about DG's `support' of different terminals. We use 'CHAR/605x' for all of our D200 and D210 terminals. Anything else is trouble. For terminals like DEC VT100's and the like, we use CHAR/CRT9. The problem with the CHAR/CRTx, where x = 1 - 9, is that our documentation tells us nothing about the details of these 'emulations'. (Since we have MV/UX, it is possible to run VI and EMACS under this quasi-unix with non-DG terminals, but it's so... slow.....) My other gripe is that TELNET refuses to allow anything but a hardcopy connection, which makes it virtually useless as a networked machine. So, my questions are: 1. What are the details about CHAR/CRTx ? Can they be redefined? 2. Can TELNET be made to recognise terminals as anything but dumb, hardcopy devices? Richard Brown (pbrown@munda.ph.unimelb.edu.au)
