The Telnet terminal type setting in TinyTERM allows you to change the terminal type that the host sees announced in telnet connections. It also applies to SSH connections. In older versions of TinyTERM for Windows, it’s called the netterm setting.

Unlike TinyTERM, TERM for UNIX/Linux does not have a Telnet terminal type or netterm option. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add this feature.

If you select a 25-line emulation in TERM, such as SCOANSI or Wyse60-25, but there are not 25 lines available on screen, TERM falls back to VT100 emulation. There’s no warning when this happens. TERM just starts behaving differently than expected.

If you set up data capture to a named pipe, TERM for UNIX/Linux hangs. This is not strictly a TERM problem; it’s an OS issue. Unlike files or serial devices, named pipes can fill up. At that point, TERM hangs.

The only known fix at this time would involve adding detection and non-blocking code to TERM for situations where the named pipe is full. This has the potential for introducing bugs, especially in serial communications and file writes.

TERM for UNIX/Linux won’t make an rlogin connection unless the user is logged in as root. Any other username returns the following errors:

Attempting connection to rlogin:ip.address (rlogin:ip.address)…
Can’t get reserved socket, must run setuid root
Can’t connect to ip.address
Can’t connect to rlogin:ip.address (rlogin:ip.address)…

In TERM for UNIX, WTERMCRC file transfers move much more quickly over an rlogin connection than they do over a telnet connection. The fastest file transfer protocol for TCP/IP connections is FTP, but that does not include the benefits that come from TERM-to-TERM transfers.

This was described in TinyTERM 4.30 over a serial connection to a VAX VMS system. When scrolling through a list of data, only the bottom line of text changed. This has not been duplicated elsewhere.

CR 515

TERM for UNIX/Linux includes an IBM3270 emulation. This is a character-based emulation based on VT100, not the more thorough protocol-style TN3270 included in TinyTERM Plus.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add 3270 and 5250 emulations to TERM for UNIX/Linux. This has not been implemented thus far.

CR 514

The keyboard editor in TinyTERM 4.x includes keyboard maps for the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany. Century Software has had a request to add two Brazilian keyboard maps, ABNT and ABNT2.

CR 503

In TinyTERM 4.x using VT220 emulation, when the host application opens a sub- or “child” window, it does not scroll correctly. Only the last line of the child window scrolls.

CR 502

TERM for UnixWare does not properly enable or disable tty ports on OpenUnix 8. The devices apparently aren’t listed in the /etc/inittab where TERM expects to find them.
