Is PC connection to HP 3000 922LX possible??

[Ollie Strickland]

Greetings,

A client of mine is running an HP 3000 922LX with an HP 2345A
Distributed Terminal Controller. The DTC is connected to about a dozen
HP dumb terminals with DB-25 male connectors. I have not assessed the
OS situation on the 922LX.

My question: can I dump the HP dumb terminals and emulate them on
Windows XP with Hyperterminal or some other application? If this is
possible I'm guessing I would just use the equivalent pin-out for a DB-9
female and connect to a standard PC serial port.

If anyone has an input on this I would appreciate hearing it.

Thanks,
Ollie

Yes you can dump the dumb terminals and replace them with a terminal
emulator. HP Terminals aren't so dumb so Hyperterminal most probably won't
hack it. There are a number of HP terminal emulators available ranging in
price from free to lots. The main players are, in no special order:

www.wrq.com/products/reflection
www.screenjet.com (follow the link for terminal emulation)

You can continue connecting to the 922LX via a serial connection to the DTC.
If you are running a LAN you can put the 922LX on the LAN and connect to it
that way.
