I need to access an openVMS machine by telneting from my Linux Box. So far I've tried several different terminal software programs but can't seem to get one that groks VMS.
Gnome-terminal
Doesn't advertise it's terminal emulation. On login vms complains
%SET-W-NOTSET, error modifying TNA465: -SET-I-UNKTERM, unknown terminal type
Home key doesn't go back to start of line and the terminal starts in overtype mode
I can fix some of this by setting the term type in VMS
$ set term/device=vt102/insert
Doesn't fix the home key but at least terminal is useable.
Eterm
Is recognised as a Vt100, starts in insert mode but backspace works as home key, as does delete key so I can't delete typo's. Don't know how to fix this in VMS.
Xterm
Same as Eterm
Kterm
Same as Eterm except that delete key works as backspace and delete.
Any cluesticks?
TIA's
