Hi All,

Let me appologise in advance if this post does not belong in this newsgroup.
If this is the case, could you please suggest where I might post this.

My company has orderd some NCD Xserver terminals with vt220 keybards.
These machines will be used off site.  Users will phone in, logon to a
UNIX machine, and run Xwindows.  From here, most users will want to open
a window to our VMS machine and this is where the problem is.

We apparently do not have a UNIX to VMS keyboard map.  When in VMS ( from
UNIX ), regular letters and numbers type correctly, but PF keys, control 
keys, Do, Find, Select, Replace, etc., do not.

My question is: Does there exist, or does anyone know how to create, a
UNIX to VMS keyboard map to solve the problem described above?

Please send all reponses via email as I have cross posted this to several
newsgroups and won't have time to peruse them all.

thank you,
Greg
