Hi,

I have a group of people which don't know Solaris (UNIX) at all.
They have their NT-machines and have to do some simple tasks like
start a batch, edit a crontab file a.s.o on the Solaris machine.

Actually the have only this ugly standard NT-Telnet.
What terminal emulation and editor (I'm sure they won't like vi )
would you recommend them.

TIA

Pico, ee, or one of Lucent's
offerings(http://www.lucent.com/ssg/html/edit-one.html) are probably best as
editors. Pico and ee are free, while Lucent's is $495, though it comes with
other utilities as well as source(non-redistributable without paying a
sublicense fee of $1000.) For telnet on NT I would reccomend either
Humminbird Exceed(www.hummingbird.com) or Persoft's
Smartterm(www.persoft.com). For something cheaper, CRT will probably do.

I use CRT as a terminal emulator in Windows. Works well with Solaris
and VMS sessions. One of these days I will work out how to get the
function keys set up...

Text editor choice is a religeous issue. I prefer Emacs.

I use CRT as well.
Use a load of shortcuts that setup for the different servers and just
use the default connection.
These allows me to use the same function keys across all servers.

function keys are easy to setup and use;
From the Options menu select Session Preferences.
In the popup window select the F Keys tab
Select the F key you want to program and enter the command in the
required line (F1, Alt F1 etc)
use \r if you want to run the command straight away :^))

TeraTerm Pro is free and works quite well for telnet as well as serial
connections to routers, etc... I wouldn't know what editor to recommend
since I use 'vi' always.
