SCO ANSI Terminal Emulator for Linux
Andrew Gertz
functionality when using SCO ANSI terminal emulation to connect to via
terminal sessions. When we connected via a normal telnet session, the
application becomes hard to navigate.
I am currently looking into a Linux desktop deployment for our users, but am
running into a problem when I try to create a connection to this application
via the Linux Console, because it seems to have the same problems that
telnet did on Windows systems. I tried using "export term=ansi" and "export
term=wy50", which work on the UNIX side, but had the same problems as I did
with telnet.
Does anyone know of a way to use a SCO ANSI emulator in Linux?

Well, yes, no, and maybe.
There's a lot of stuff in the FAQ and in other places on my site about
various attempts people have made to make this work flawlessly. AFAIK,
nobody has managed to make this 100% happy under all conditions.
http://pcunix.com/SCOFAQ/scotec2.html#scoterminfo talks about some of
the issues. also http://pcunix.com/Bofcusm/958.html
More promising, I think, is this: http://pcunix.com/Bofcusm/1385.html
That references a product that actually is a terminal emulator that runs
on Linux and has SCO ansi emulation. I've tried out a beta, and
although it has some rough spots, it looks like the final product will
be very good (Bruce Garlock has promised a full review of it soon).

Have you looked at Century Software's Term program? They have a linux
version. The SCO version was able to emulate a list of term types, including
SCOansi. You can download an eval and try it. I would love to use Linux for
workstations. But applications are always the hang-up. Wouldn't that be cool
to dump Microsoft products completely.

If Michael's terminfo/termcap solution works that would be the best way to
do this. If it makes problems with your application - I emailed Century and
they replied:
"TERM for Linux does include a SCO console emulation,
SCOANSI. For an eval copy, please contact Sam Lowry in our
Sales department at saml@censoft{dot}com or 800-877-3088 x151."
I replaced the "." with {dot} above to avoid spamming.
Please let us know your results! Many of us have similar interests.
Although this web site is down at the moment, I know Dennis Allen has a
collection of termcap/terminfo for Foxpro on Linux at: www.dennisallen.com
