I am on 6.0 of MPE/ix and have no problem with nmmgr on telnet.  The issue
is not telnet or ns/vt but terminal emulation.  Many of the telnet emulators
either do not emulate anything other than a really dumb terminal or only a
vt-100 terminal.

William,


I thought about the switch to Linux but could not find a NS/VT emulator
until now.

A product like WRQ Reflection 1 is not available for running on Linux.
Without such an emulator it is impossible to run Vplus orientated programs.

E.g NMMGR does not work on a telnet connection.

If someone has found an emulator that runs on Linux this problem can be
solved and then Linux would be a good alternative to Windows.


Regrads,
