Jeff,

I haven't tried QCTerm yet for this. We were unable to get it working with
block/line mode on MPE.....
Reflections works on UX with the relevant trigger switch setting on "don't
wait for dc1 " or whatever it is. Just slow......

Will try QCT next, but it should be faster anyway as its pure telnet., but
the UX-reflections connection uses telnet, so??

Reflection is sensitive to the DC1 read trigger. I don't think HPUX
issues the DC1. At least in my experience with simple multi-line
cut-and-paste Reflection is painfully slow with a noticeable delay
between lines when talking to HPUX (or any non-HP3000 box for that
matter). If that were your only problem I'd suggest you change terminal
emulators, but there aren't that many HP terminal emulators. I haven't
done a compare and contrast with QCTerm or Minisoft or anything else,
but they may behave differently speaking to HPUX.
