Summary: Need a terminal emulator Message-ID: <11061@pt.cs.cmu.edu> Date: 12 Nov 90 16:04:32 GMT Organization: Carnegie-Mellon University, CS/RI Lines: 23 I frequently use cu(1) as a means of dialing out from my s300 (HPUX 7.0) machine to a remote Unix system. If I invoke it inside an hpterm window I get a fairly decent simulation of an HP terminal. However, there are a couple of problems: 1. cu insists on swallowing any ^S or ^Q that I type. Since I use Emacs on the remote machine, this is a major drawback. 2. If a line arriving from the remote end starts with ~, the cu input process takes it as a command, which is never what I want. This usually results in cu becoming hung. Is there any way to "dumb down" cu so that it won't perform these operations? I still need it to recognize ~ commands that I type, but otherwise I would prefer it to be a noiseless filter... Alternately, is there some other program better adapted to serving as a terminal emulator? -- tom lane Internet: tgl@cs.cmu.edu UUCP: !cs.cmu.edu!tgl BITNET: tgl%cs.cmu.edu@cmuccvma CompuServe: >internet:tgl@cs.cmu.edu
