[wellylug] VT-100 emulation

[Peter Dawson]

Can one of you Debianites out there offer me some clues?

I'm using my Debian Sarge notebook on our company network to access a SCO Unix system that requires a VT-100 terminal emulation but doesn't have SSH support (or refuses me access for whatever reason).

I normally use the program termlite on my windoze XP box, but lately XP is refusing to run it because "the windows 16bit subsystem lacks resources - close your applications and reboot your system", so I'm turning to a real OS and just need some clues...

Google seems to only find Java implementations of VT100.
I've tried telnet  from Xterm & rxvt but the display fonts don't work correctly, and the function keys don't work at all. I can live with the bad fonts, but the function keys are crucial to the app I'm accessing.

My son Si set up a script which gets me to the above state. There may be further options that can get me where I want to be...

#!/bin/bash
export TERM=vt100
telnet etunix

Any help gratefully accepted!

Cheers, Peter :-)
