We've got a number of Rainbows which are used as terminals to VMS.
We use CP/M-86 Kermit-86 as the terminal emulator as this gives use of
almost all function keys and is the faster than any MSDOS emulator I've
found. 

The only restrictions I know are:
 - no printer support (Print-Screen key and escape sequences don't work)
 - ESC, BS and LF keys can't send escape sequences for WordPerfect/VMS.

Is there a CP/M-86 equivalent to the PRINT-SCREEN TSR's for MSDOS?

Are there any FTP-sites with Rainbow software available?

Thanks in advance,

I guess that is better than a door stop :-)

Have you tried BinkyTerm?  It is faster than LCTERM and works fairly
well.  Since I don't boot CP/M, I can't tell you how it is compared
to, say, Kermit-86.

There is a DOC emulator called TC-II that will send the 'right'
sequences for VMS.  Isn't there some way to tell Kermit to remap these
keys?  There is in other versions.

Don't know.  However, a vague, fuzzy memory from several (6?) years
agos recalls seeing this on a BBS.
