Does anyone know of any PC terminal emulators that emulate a scan-code
terminal (I know -- a PC emulating a terminal emulating a PC..)?  Perhaps
it is a silly thing to want, but I can see that it might be useful to
log into a 386 running VP/ix for occasional access to large data files
instead of having to copy them off to the local machine.  Has anyone
modified kermit to do this (or is it possible just with the SET KEY command)?
Kermit would be especially useful since it already knows how to talk over
the starlan network.
