<body class='hmmessage'>Yes, I took a look at TeraTerm, but it did not support VT420 eightbit sending, and the source code was so obscure as to make a fix difficult. PuTTY is much nicer source code to work with. PuTTY also did not work with our OpenVMS system, but the fix (change the CSI sent when control keys are pressed from ESC[ to hex 1B) was easy to implement.<BR>
<BR>
Before anyone asks, I did go down the route of getting the OpenVMS system login script changed. I'm presuming there's a $SET TERM /DEVICE=VT420 /EIGHTBIT or similar in there, whereas a $SET TERM /INQUIRE might be better. But our VMS support peeps didn't want to change something that so far as they knew, wasn't broke. No matter, it's a good opportunity to do some coding again... bliss!!!<BR>
<BR>
Of course, if anyone has a similar problem, and wants my hack of PuTTY, just ask.<BR>
