The VT100 Gateway software

You can install the Meridian IVR 2.0/I VT100 Gateway on Intel’s new generation 64-bit PentiumTM microprocessor. To support the VT100 Gateway, the application processor must

•have an ACCESS link connected to Meridian Mail

•be connected to one or more host computers via an asynchronous connection

•have enough serial ports to provide enough terminal connections (one digiBoard with 8 ports per card)

Northern Telecom (Nortel) does not supply the VT100 communication hardware. Figure 1-3 shows the typical hardware configuration for processing VT100 terminal sessions.
