12 VT Series Emulation

This chapter describes features of the Digital Equipment Corporation VT suite of terminal emulations.

Introduction

The VT Series suite of terminal emulations consists of the following emulations which can be selected using the Emulation mode option in the VT Series Settings dialog:

●AIXTerm

Provides compatibility with software designed to drive an X terminal using X Windows.

●Ansi BBS

This emulation is a derivative of the ANSI device driver ANSI.SYS supplied with all DOS based PCs and which provides the screen management for the DOS console screen. PC based UNIX systems and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) often rely on the ANSI emulation when being accessed by a PC. In ANSI BBS mode the screen size is adjusted to 25 lines and the preferred character set is set to ANSI.

●AT 386

Provides compatibility with software designed to drive the AT&T AT 386 terminal.

●ATT4410

Provides compatibility with software designed to drive the AT&T Dataspeed 4410 terminal. Refer to the section AT&T 4410 Emulation on page 82 for details.

●Sco Console

This is an emulation of the SCO UNIX box.

●VT PCTerm

Provides compatibility with software designed for the PC Term mode supported by DEC.

●VT52 and VT100

These emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT52 and VT100 terminals, respectively.

●VT100+

This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100 emulation that provides additional functionality such as colors. It is the same as the VT-UTF8 emulation except that it only supports ASCII characters 0-127 (decimal).

●VT+HP220

This emulation is based on the VT500 terminal series and includes the HP function keys F1 - F8 (not user programmable). The terminal ID is set to VT220.
