Hello world,
It is about several month that I am trying to port a BBX3 application
running on a SCO server on a RedHat 6.2 Linux.
I have solved almost all the problems related to printers, fax server
and the system in general.
Unfortunately I continue to have problems with terminal emulation.
I don't have experience with terminals at all so I don't' know what are
the mechanisms involved between terminal emulators and the server during
the session setup and communication.
What I can do is to explain my setup and problems.
The setup is: A Linux RedHat 6.2 server running BBX and a series of
Windoze PCs running netterm as terminal emulator.
First al all I have disabled pts filesystem because terminal names
/dev/pts/x wasn't recognized by BBX3.
next I have edited the config.bbx as follow:
stblen=4096
TIMEOUT=0
PREFIX /usr/bbx/ /usr/bbx/utils/ /usr/bbx/rw/ /u/work/ /u/dati/
/u1/vend/ /u1/co
nt/ /usr/bbx/prog_2000/ /u1/trasf/
ALIASES=100
FCBS=40
CIBS=40
alias T0 /dev/tty1 linbbx
alias T1 /dev/tty2 linbbx
alias T2 /dev/tty3 linbbx
alias T3 /dev/tty4 linbbx
alias T4 /dev/tty5 linbbx
alias T5 /dev/tty6 linbbx
alias TA /dev/ttyp0 linbbx
alias TB /dev/ttyp1 linbbx
alias TC /dev/ttyp2 linbbx
alias TD /dev/ttyp3 linbbx
...
alias LP ">lpr -Plp2 >& /dev/null" printer
SPCOLS=255,lock=/tmp/LCK.LP,wait=0
alias TP /dev/ttyp35 term
alias P1 ">lpr -Plp0 >& /dev/null" printer
SPCOLS=255,lock=/tmp/LCK.P1,wait=0
alias P2 ">lpr -Plp1 >& /dev/null" printer
SPCOLS=255,lock=/tmp/LCK.P2,wait=0
alias P3 ">lpr -Plp >& /dev/null" printer
SPCOLS=255,lock=/tmp/LCK.P3,wait=0
The linbbx entry that I have inserted into /etc/terminal is (thanks to
Keith Smith):

and the application is running in this way:
cd /usr/bbx
TERMCAP=/etc/termcap
export TERMCAP
TERM=linbbx
export TERM
exec ./bbx3 -q -m2000 SETUP
exit
Ok! this is the setup.
On a linux console all is running correctly. Both characters, keyboard
and colors.
When I try to use netterm some problems raise.
Netterm is configured with ansi emulation and keys with SCE that is a
little modification
of sco-ansi keyboard emulation.
All seems to work. Masks are Ok, keyboard is ok.
The problem is colors that aren't displayed.
Does anyone has any suggetion?
Regards
Davide
