Subject: Re: A suggestion for a terminal emulation newsgroup
Date: 6 Jul 1999 13:09:08 GMT

: Can't you imagine a problem due to the user inexperiance? Moreover, how
: about a user who wants to use a windows software (like excell or
: access) sitting on a PC through a terminal? He'll need someone familiar
: with the terminal emulation software he's using to help him doing it.
But those users are posting questions to the
comp.os.ms-windows.apps.*
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.*
microsoft.public.win95.*
newsgroups not to a general cross platform terminal emulation group.
That is the big difference between terminals and their specifications
the questions about particular products such as WRQ or Kermit. Kermit
specific questions go to the Kermit newsgroup since Kermit is cross
platform. Other products are not and are best handled in the
apps, comm, and network
groups of particular platforms and operating systems.
: I'm suggesting the same thing that you want: a single newsgroup dealing
: with terminal emulation. I just don't think that comp.terminals is doing
: the job right now. That's why I've suggested comp.terminals.emulation.
: I think that the reason for the low traffic on comp.terminals is the fact
: that the subject of terminal emulation is being discussed on so many
: different newsgroups.
I don't believe that the subject of terminal emulation is being discussed
on newsgroups other than those in which they belong. Questions about how
to use Windows OLE between an terminal emulator and Excel belong in a
windows newsgroup not a general terminal emulation group.
