Fax Modem  (250-3581)        Terminal Emulation        Faxback Doc. # 5800

This document lists BitCom's supported terminals and explains how to use
the terminal emulation.  Advanced users can print and read the file
EMULATE.TXT, which is in BitCom's program disk.  This file explains how to
modify an existing emulation file and how to create your own emulation
file.

SUPPORTED TERMINALS

Most mainframes will support one of the terminals below.  The following
includes the names of the files BitCom uses for terminal emulation.  Note
that each ends with "EMU".

ANSI color/graphics terminals               ANSI.EMU
DEC VT100 with ANSI support                 VT100A.EMU
DEC VT100 with ANSI support                 VT100B.EMU
and VT52 support
IBM 3101 terminal                           3101.EMU
IBM 3708 terminal                           3708.EMU
IBM 7171 terminal                           TV1920.EMU
TeleVideo 920 terminal                      TV19XX.EMU
terminals
Wyse 50 terminal                            WYSE50.EMU
Wyse 60 terminal                            WYSE60.EMU

USING TERMINAL EMULATION

1.  Find out which terminals the mainframe supports.

2.  Create a phone record or open the Communications Parameters menu of
    an existing phone record

3.  Enter the parameters needed to make a connection with the host.

NOTE:  If you are using ANSI emulation to receive ANSI color or graphics,
       set the Input and Output filers to No.

4.  In the Emulation field, enter the name of the selected emulation file,
    without the .EMU extension.

Example:  If you want to emulate the ANSI terminal, enter ANSI.

5.  Select the Quit command to save the changes.

6.  Select the new record.

7.  Make a connection.  BitCom will automatically invoke the emulation
    file, and your keyboard will emulate the selected terminal.

NOTE:  You might need to redefine some of BitCom's Special Keys in the
       communication Parameters Menu.  For example, BitCom uses the
       function key F1 for Help.  On the DEC VT100 terminal, however, F1
       is used as the Gold Key.
