Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I have been using
MSKermit 3.13 on a 486/DX33 and often connect to my computer at the
university to run graphics programs which support the tektronics
graphics terminal. If I set Kermit (before entering terminal mode)
to emulate the tektronics terminal, then the graphics are displayed
without problem.
However, if I set my terminal to VT320 (which I
prefer since I also use the Unix system extensively besides my
graphics needs) and then enter terminal mode with the "c" command, the
tektronics mode is *not* automatically invoked when the Unix box (an
IBM RS/6000 system) starts sending the tektronics graphics commands.
It *does* seem to try (i.e., I get the little square cursor), but
immediately begins echoing the ascii text, itself, of the graphics
commands. Once I return to VT320 emulation mode, I no longer get
anything readable, but rather my color monitor displays solid
multi-colored gibberish (though I can tell that the keystrokes I type
are still getting through to the Unix box). I end up having to type
"exit" as normal (even though the echo to my screen is the gibberish as
indicated above) and redial the Unix box in VT320 mode.
I've looked over the on-line documentation, and believe that I
understand correctly the fact that the tektronics emulation is
seemless when using the VT320 emulation mode. But everything I've
tried has been unsuccessful.
Is it at all possible that the problem sits on my end (e.g., my video
card which is a Trident SVGA)? I'm not Kermit-proficient so any
pointers, however basic, would be helpful. Please e-mail me personally
as well as posting to the newsgroup as I don't get to read the news as
often as I'd like).
