SCO-ANSI terminal emulation

[Terry Polzin]

Hey group:

Anyone know of a package or product that can do this.  I'm hoping to install a 
package that can emulate SCO-ANSI to telnet into a legacy app machine and 
replace some dumb terminals with  LTSP clients.

THANKS,

Terry

What may be easier to do is to put a terminfo (and termcap) entry for
the linux console onto the SCO box you're using as host. Or if you're
going to be using a GUI terminal (e.g. xterm) the SCO box should already
have the suitable entries for xterm.

Target app server is AIX.  The application
runs best with either SCO-ANSI 
terminal emulation s/w or a dg215 dumb term.

I'm not personally aware of any terminal emulator for LInux that
supports those terminal types.

Kermit95 does, but it's a Windoze program. Perhaps it might work
under Wine, though I have no idea if it will. 

Good luck!
