I have been very impressed with CRT from Vandyke (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.vandyke.com">www.vandyke.com</a>) over
many<br>
years. I work full time using terminal emulators and CRT seems to be
the best bang for<br>
the buck in terms of performance and functionality. fwiw.<br>

<pre wrap="">However, I've recently installed OpenVMS on the simulated
VaxServer 3900. I'm not sure about a few points, though the
most frustrating for me is terminal emulation. I have PuTTY
for Windows, which I am using as my VMS system console - at
least until I get my license PAKS and can load up TCP/IP.
What I'm wondering is mostly if anyone could desceribe to me
the general layout of the Vt102 terminal? PuTTY seems to
emulate Xterm, which emulates VT102. I've seen a number of
references to a Gold key, as well as keys labeled help, do,
etc. Any information on what these are would be appreciated.

In the low-cost range of terminal emulators for MS Windows,
I'd recommend Kermit 95 (don't be fooled by the name, I use it
on Win2k and XP), see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/">http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/</a>
Kermit95 emulates a VT320.

<pre wrap="">When emulation accuracy is more important than cost, I HIGHLY
recommend either HP's Pathworks 32 (for the [Digital]
eXcursion X Server and [Ericom] PowerTerm 525 terminal
emulator) OR Hummingbird's Exceed (X Server) and Connectivity
Secure Shell (SSH encryption for X) for use with the Digital
operating systems. The accuracy of these emulations is *much*
better than lower cost solutions. Ericom's PowerTerm terminal
emulator (which is provided as part of HP's Pathworks 32) can
also be purchased separately.

If you can find it, KEA! (nee KEAterm) is a very good alternative,
too. AFAIK, Attachmate has stopped development of this outstanding
terminal emulator - what a pity!
