I'm afraid that'd be nearly impossible to do with Emu as-is. No, that's the TVI925 & friends, which the Wyse 60 was compatible with. (Magic cookie mode and all that.) The 120GT does bitmapped graphics, and I seem to recall someone having an X server (R4 IIRC) that ran on the host and let you use it as an Xterm. They were very proud of it, claiming that it was more cost effective to have a single large Unix box running N copies of this server and their cheap terminals than to buy "real" Xterms. > Michael Elbel, DITEC, Muenchen, Germany - me@muc.ditec.de -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
