-
- I'm running 3.2 of Telix (yup it's now available - I was a beta site).
- I've had no emulation problems to ANY UNIX version. I lost my
- access to VAX/VMS when I left DEC and TRW so I can't test against them.
-
- I had no emulation problems with 3.12->3.15. Make sure you have destructive
- backspace off.
-
- Telix doesn't pass the VTTEST test completely, it fails in the same place
- as MS-Kermit.
-
- The only thing I've seen that does it completely (I haven't seen most
- commercial VT emulators) is Softterm. Softterm however has the worst
- user interface and file transfers.
-
- There's a new Telix and Telix for Windows underway. The latest message
- I've seen says it'll be out next year.
