Hello,
Recently I've been using my Mac's zsh terminal through my Apple IIe using ModemMGR. It's been working great, but I wanted to try out ProTerm 3.1. Problem is, I'm having issues getting it all set up and the manual is a bit vague regarding VT100 emulation. With ModemMGR, I used THIS guide and it went smoothly. I'm using a Super Serial card in slot 1 with the jumper set to terminal and the switches set to 0001111 111100. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong with ProTerm, any thoughts? Thanks!
Are you using a null modem cable? If so, you may have to reverse the terminal block on the Super Serial Card to point to "modem".
Also, with ProTerm 3.1 you need to set the SSCs dip switches to have interrupts turned "ON", or it just won't work. ProTerm makes heqavy use of inteerupts to function properly.
Also, VT-100 emulation on ProTerm 3.1 is possible but it is not terribly good. It still ought to work once you adjust the SSCs parameters.
I set the interupt to on and also tried changing the terminal/modem jumper, but no dice. in online parameters, emulation is set to VT100, line status is online, 9600,N,8,1 full duplex, and in the installation settings I do have my printer set to SSC in slot one, no modem, and the Apple IIe keyboard layout. The cable I'm using is this one.
Maybe a better alternative question would be, does proterm have a better emulation of VT100 compared to other software? It's silly, but ModemMGR didn't seem to interpret the blink escape code.
Here's an update: I tried DCOM 3.3, but that only goes up to 2400 baud. Also tried Cater, which is part of FujiNet, but that didn't work given i dont have any of the needed peripherals. AGATE seems promising, typing on my Apple does type on my MacBook terminal, but the Apple monitor displays nothing. I've yet to try Ascii Express, that's another suggested one I've seen.
