The way SIMH works, "set console dasher" instructs the console subsystem that the TTY connected to the console *is* a dasher-capable terminal or terminal emulator. So, find one. VT100/ANSI used to be the standard for terminals for a while, and dasher a minority. The Windows console telnet command does most definitely have no dasher capabilities. It has limited VT100/ANSI capabilities. You need a more sophisticated/specialized terminal emulator that can use telnet for comms protocol and dasher for display operators. /Wilm _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
