I'd like to know which terminal I should try to emulate, if I made a 
communications program which duty was to work between a UNIX and a MS-DOS 
machine. I was thinking about some VT terminal, but what would be enough?
I don't need graphics (excluding MS-DOS graphical characters).
I'd also need the specifications (about the terminal I'd be emulating. And
since I'm a beginner (in the area) the termcap entry of a terminal isn't
enough. I'm curently using a VT-320 emulating program (pc-kermit 3.01)
which emulating I find sufficiently satisfying. So I'd need the specs
in 'human language' because I'm not (atleas yet) familiar with these termcap 
entrys.)
And please reply by email, because I only read this newsgroup about once a week
and I don't want your reply be un-noticed because of 'gnus-Subject-catch-up'
command.
Thanks in advance.
