Getting Started

The IBM 5250 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive IBM 5250 type alphanumeric terminals. This emulation can be used for connection to an IBM AS/400, System/36 or System/38. Note that the initial display will be an ASCII text screen known as Network Virtual Terminal mode (NVT mode for short). Refer to the IBM 5250 Emulation chapter for details.

The MDI P12\P8 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the McDonnell Douglas Prism-12 and Prism-8 terminals. Refer to the MDIS Prism Emulations chapter for details.

The MDI Prism-9emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the McDonnell Douglas Prism-9 terminal. Refer to the MDIS Prism Emulations chapter for details.

The PT250 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the Prime PT250 terminal. Refer to the PT250 Emulation chapter for details.

Sco Console is an emulation of the SCO UNIX box.

The Siemens 97801 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the Siemens 97801 terminal. Refer to the Siemens 97801 Emulation chapter for details.

The Stratus V102 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the Stratus V102 terminal.

The TA6530 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the Tandem 6530 terminal. This emulation is described in the TA6530 Emulation chapter.

The TVI 910, TVI 920 and TVI 925 emulations provide compatibility with software designed to drive the TeleVideo 910+, 920 and 925 terminals, respectively, as emulated by the Wyse WY-50/50+/60 terminals. Refer to the Wyse Emulations chapter for details.

The TVI 950 and TVI 955 emulations provide compatibility with software designed to drive the TeleVideo 950 and 955 terminals, respectively.

The Unisys T27 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the Unisys T27 terminal. Refer to the Unisys T27 Emulation chapter for details.

The Viewdata 40, Viewdata 80 and Viewdata Split modes enable access to a viewdata service using one of three display formats, as described in the Viewdata Mode section later in this chapter.

The VT PCTerm emulation provides compatibility with software designed for the PC Term mode supported by DEC. This is the same as the VT510 emulation except that keyboard scan codes are sent on key press/release instead of ASCII codes by default.

The VT52 and VT100 emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT52 and VT100 terminals, respectively. Refer to the DEC VT Emulations chapter for details.

The VT500 7-Bitand VT500 8-Bitemulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT320 terminal, the difference is in their treatment of 8-bit control codes.
