Any help would be >appreciated. As far as i now the pcvt console driver emulates a vt220 on the console. But you need the complete kernel source, the sources of pcvt and you need to know how to build a new kernel. Another possibility is to use X-windows, an xterm is a fairly good vt100 emulation. I am just using seyon under X-windows, that is something similar to procomm or telix under dos. -- ATS ( ats@first.gmd.de or ats@cs.tu-berlin.de ) Andreas Schulz GMD-FIRST 12489 Berlin-Adlershof Rudower Chaussee 5 Gebaeude 13.7 Tel: +49-30-6392-1856 Germany/Europe
