- Ooh!This one's tough!
- Tandem terminals can typically only talk block mode. Telnet cannot. You
- have to start looking for common denominators, and it sounds as though you
- may have few.
-
- Are you running Tandem's TCP application on your TNS-II? If so, you could
- use it as a gateway machine to the TCP world, to support your Tandem terms.
- Are you running the old (and ugly) UB net stuff, ie- XNS? If so, more
- problems. UB did recently start supporting TCP, but upgrades are pricey.
-
- You're asking for a lot of insight, without furnishing a lot of specific
- information.
