Are you speaking of terminal-type recognition and changing by escape sequence
or by Telnet negotiations? What kind of connection do you have?
A real VT320 allows its terminal model to be interrogated by the host with
an escape sequence. I have never heard of a VMS system that sent a "what are
you?" escape sequence (DECID) to the terminal and did not recognize the
response. We would need to see a session log and/or debug log to determine
what is going on. Please send them as binary email attachments to:
kermit-support@columbia.edu
A real VT320 also allows the host to put it into VT100 mode, also by escape
sequence. If the host does that, then K95 should do what the real VT320 does
(and indeed it does).
