Does anyone know of a way to make use of the print screen
key on the RT?  We're running AIX 2.1.

Using a 3Com card for ethernet

Has anyone used the 3COM ethernet card with
the RT. I am running AIX 2.1.2. 

Thanks for any pointers.

Make use of it how?  It sends a unique code ("\e[209q"), so you can use it
just like any other function key, either by writing applications that
recognize that string or by binding a new string (or function) to that key.

Or are you asking for a utility that can read the information on the screen?
That can also be done, though I don't know of any way to transparently attach
it to the Print Screen key.  I just wrote it as a program that reads from the
screen attached to stdin, so I can always flip to another window and type
"readscreen </dev/hft/3 >/tmp/foo".
