- We have the same sort of application. All of our terminals need to
- be VT-220 compatible to get the lines and the telnet that comes with
- PC-NFS is only VT-100 compatible. Advanced Telnet is VT-220
- compatible, but also has problems, especially under Windows. I have
- had all our users just exit Windows before using AT and it works
- sufficiently well for them to perform their tasks.
-
- It might be possible to use a PD package that has PC-NFS support to
- achieve the same thing. MS-Kermit has VT-220 emulation, but it does
- not support PC-NFS (there are arcane ways of making it sort-of work,
- though).
