Terminal emulation for HPUX

[Jon Sharp]

What is reckoned to be the best terminal emulation for use with HP - I which
best supports pageup/down, line drawing etc. xterm works pretty well - but
vt100 or ansi from a number of clients (including Windows Terminal, SCO telnet,
FTP Software's wtnvt) seem not to provide very good support.

Is there a java applet client?

Suggestions on client (preferably software) and TERM setting combinations would
be appreciated!

I've supported a few different term type in HP-UX.
There seems to be documentation availiable for vt-100 than any other, but wy60
is also popular.

Xterm or Ansi are good ones to use if your app might be run on another
platform.

Good Luck!

From someone who supports dtterm,xterm,hpterm,vt100 etc I'd advise either
hpterm or dtterm, xterm is less specific to platforms ie HP, as are some of the
other choices, though xterm is pretty robust on most plattforms.

They all work more or less the same, some of the older varieties may have lost
supported functionality whith changes between say 9.xx and 10/11.xx or X11R5 &
X11R6 libs etc.

Thanks for above - does anyone know of a MS Windows program, or Java app(let)
that emulates hpterm, dtterm?

Do people use dedicated HP terminals?

I use both products from WRQ for hp terminal emulation under msWindows (NT):
reflectionX and reflection for HP w NS/VT.
There is also a suite for HP...
Now ther are plenty other good vt (Dt) or X emulation on the market WRQ,
Exceed, FTP software etc...

Sorry I forgot:
Is there a java applet client?
Yes there are a few, I can just remember of WRQ's reflection Enterview
I remembered using VT emulation based on java applets but just cant remember
the name, all I can remember is it was sharewares from Denmark I think
Good look

Take a look at Minisoft's Javelin product. www.minisoft.com (java based hp
terminal emulation) applet size is about 78k. Lean and mean.
