We had a mix of Prime PT200s, PT250s, Wyse85s, and Wintegrate configured as a PT250. All of the real terminals would respond to a sequence something like <esc>? (can't remember what it actually was). So I wrote the login program to send this sequence to the user, and the terminal would (as it was meant to) respond with some string without any user intervention. And I programmed Wintegrate to behave just like a pt250 including this answerback. If you look at the pt250.wis (or is it .wit?) file distributed with Wintegrate you might well find my code in there to do exactly that. You'll need to read the Viaduct docu, but if it's at all user-configurable, you should be able to program it to do an answerback. Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.
