I can't get ANY of the terminal emulation modes to work with U*IX. Strangely,
VT52 works fine on VMS. Even something as simple as the "clear" command
refuses to work. Has anyone else suffered similar problems? Any solutions?

The new Chamelon available from Antic has a VT52xl terminal emulator and the
corresponding TERMCAP entry in the supplied documentation. If you want I
will send you the TERMCAP entry but I don't know if it will work with the
old Chamelon.

The cursor control sequences appear to be decoded before the incoming parity
is stripped.  If your tty driver lets you send eight bit chars, you
can use Chameleon.  I found that setting and then clearing litout on our 4.2 vax
seems to switch  to into no parity mode. (I know. Its a bug, not a feature.)
Does anyone out there have 8 bit mode mods for 4.2?

I encountered the same problem with the VT-52 emulation mode of Chameleon.
As I recall, the solution (obtained by trial and error) is to set the second
parity field in the menu to ODD (the default for both parities is NONE).

I have used my Atari 800 to dial-in to our VAX 750 a dozen times, and the
Chameleon package works perfectly, even with tricky editors like Jove!
