I read this newsgroup for the first time a few minutes ago so it's likely that
my problem has already been solved by someone else:
One of our clients has some DEC Rainbows connected (until recently) to a
PDP-11/70, and now to a MicroVAX II. The Rainbows were used in terminal
emulation mode (VT52) when necessary to do work on the PDP, but now they have to
work as terminals on the MicroVAX. Unfortunately our software requires the use
of the full LK201 keyboard but the ANSI terminal emulation mode on the Rainbow
doesn't allow this.
Is there a terminal emulation program for the Rainbow which allows it to
function as a VT200- or VT300-series terminal? Any help would be much
appreciated.
Jeremy Begg
P.S. I see there is a file server for Rainbow-type programs. How do I get
access to it? A list of available programs would be nice.
