Telnet with Wyse60-25 emulation on HPUX

[Reginald_2]

Hi everyone,

I want to telnet from a linux workstation (SuSe 8.0) onto a HPUX machine running an application that needs Wyse60-25 emulation. When I do so from xterm or text console (TERM=xterm/linux), the display works fine but the keys, especially the function keys, don't work properly.
So I edited my termcap entry for wy60-25, set an alias to "70060" to make sure, the hpux understands this entry, which also exists in the hp's termcap. Then I ran tic and started telnet to connect to the application on the hp server.
But unfortunately,all modifications I tried with my termcap and $TERM don't seem to have effect.
I downloaded a wyse60 freeware terminal emulator - the only one I could find - which works after I set $TERM to 70060 and entered the right escape sequences in its configuration file. But the display is totally messed up, especially with german characters like ??, ??, ??, etc. Loading different fonts that come with SuSe via "setfont" in text console didn't solve that problem properly.
We use Tiny Term with wy60-25 emulation to connect from our Windows workstations and want to replace them by linux.Tiny Term for linux works fine for that purpose but is expensive...

Thanks for your help
