Procomm plus is indeed a terminal program just like hyperterm and many others. Unfortunately it and other terminal programs do not have the emulation to paint the screen. About all you'll get in terminal mode is ASCII garbage. I believe the original on MCE was Wyse or Intercolor. It escapes me as of this moment.

However this product from MCE used to be free. Which had the correct emulation built in. Might have been straight ansi escape characters. Memories the 2nd thing to go.

But here's Motions.

They had a Machine Room based one as well that worked on a laptop. Give em' a call. Hell of lot easier than re-inventing the wheel.


It Don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing.
