Selecting your Terminal Emulation
Selecting your Terminal Emulation
As part of the login routine you are asked to specify your preferred
terminal (emulation) type. A default terminal type will be shown. This
document also explains how to change your
default terminal emulation.
We strongly recommend VT-100...
It is strongly recommended that you use a proper VT-100 terminal
emulation. This is the default terminal type for Chebucto Community Net and
will result in the best results (provided your communications software
uses a close match to the official VT-100 standard).
Other VT-xxx terminal emulations will also usually work. If you are
using VT-200 you should tell CCN to use VT-200 also.
Other terminal emulations may also work. You should always try to set
both your software and the CCN software to the same
emulation. If CCN does not support the terminal emulation
that you need to use you may have to experiment with the various
terminal emulations available at Chebucto Community Net to find the one that
works best with your software.
Changing your default terminal type
You can change your default terminal type by using the CCN
shortcut command go
terminal
The default terminal type will take effect the next time you login.
