Hi guys, firstly an apology for the cross-posting...I am not at all sure
what group this should go to so I hope someone can throw me some
replies.

I need to emulate various terminal types under Linux, that is to say I
need to communicate over a serial port with various servers - Sun, HP,
DEC, etc... I would prefer to have a console app. rather than something
under X but I can't find anything around that will do this for me.

Searching for "linux terminal emulator" and the like seems to produce a
hundred links to terminal software that'll talk TO a Linux box but not
run under Linux to talk to a host.

I obviously already have VT100 / VT102 emulation in the form of the
standard console but it's the others I am looking for (please don't say
which, I'm trying to get as wide a range together as possible!)

Due to my group ignorance could you CC replies to my return address
(err, obviously remove the NOSPAM as usual...)

Thanks,

Jeremy

Minicom provides a pretty good serial terminal emulator it does the most
famous protocolls. It is also a nice ascii based applictions. I don't know
if you remember Telix on DOS (back in the old days :) ) it is a nearly
exact clone of this application.
