For some time I have been trying to achieve full emulation of a wy50 
terminal from a pc talking to xenix 386 3.x.x  Several products have 
been tried, and they ALL work, to some degree.

SCO, for whatever reason, has chosen to implement many additional   
features (status line, semi-graphics, etc) on the wy50 (other wyse terminals
as well perhaps ?) for lyrix, pro, etc.  Until now, the emulator 
products I have tried have not been able/willing to support these
features.  Without the time or desire to spend hours of testing and 
trial and error effort, I wanted an emulator that would do ALL the 
work.

While looking for another product, I stumbled over PROCOMM PLUS, and
decided (after my suppier promised my money back if it didn't work) to
give it a try.  Works fine, and to the degree where the desired features
work !

The product is usually available for about seventy dollars.

I haven't tried all the features of the product.  I bought it only for the
emulation.  It also emulates various flavours of decvtxxx, televideo900,
IBM3101, and IBM3270.

This is no advertisement...just passing on satisfactory results from a 
reasonably priced product.

Regards,

Stephen Comfort-Mason
