Neal,

Any idea who that was that did that or if they’re still around?

To others that suggested terminal emulation software – my original post indicates that was my first suggestion but they don’t want to do that because anything good enough to run that might walk away because it could run other things as well.

We used to get refurbished WY60s all the time for $100.

In fact, we could send in a Wy60 for a flat rate repair for $100 as long as the tube lit up.

I suggested they just put in a laptop with terminal emulation but apparently this is going to a remote site and they’re afraid something like that might disappear.



I gather they just need any terminal that would do the old RS232 9600 baud and run in VT100 mode but I’m not sure what the server/application is.



Any ideas?
