It's a sickness. I'm not too fond of windows past NT 4 for anything other than an occasional game. ;) I'd call it more masochism to be honest. I DID recently install it on a Pentium 4 though. ;) (Did you know it won't boot on a P4 HT?) I didn't. And from what they tell me, that knowledge is now IN my brain, and I cannot get those neurons back. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

All I get is VT102... I tried setting it in the Terminal -> Answerback to ^E option and it doesn't work here. That said I was going SSH => Telnet => sinh mux emulation => OpenVMS - that might have broken it ;) Answerback is something totally different and unrelated. I'll check this up tonight when I'm back home. And the answer is - you don't. There is no setting in putty to control it. But, just to let you know, putty atleast clears the screen on DECCOLM. And I think someone asked about power term. Power Term (the version I'm running) reports itself as a VT525, with color, and soft characters. And it even switches between 80 columns and 132 columns by changing font so the window stays the same size and shape. I haven't found any glaring bugs yet... My only complaint would be that it feel very sluggish.

Ahh, I've used those. They're not bad for PCs. Performance is about on par with a decade-old UltraSPARC. ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

I think homebrew just compiles it straight from source without patches, so you should be good. I wish Apple had something for the userland like they do via the App Store for applications. Why? It'd be just as limited as the App Store. ;) sampsa -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project.

Oooooh, we could install PATHWORKS on that, PowerTerm over RDP, wooo Yes we could! Hmmm! Actually what does NT 4 use for remote access? NT 4 TSE uses RDP protocol 4. rdesktop (it's in homebrew!) supports it via the -4 option. sampsa -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project.
