Introduction

Termulator II allows your Windows PC to function as a character-mode terminal to a host Unix system. You can easily switch between Windows and Unix with a click of the mouse.

Termulator II emulates the SCO Unix color console as well as Wyse 60 and DEC VT-100 terminals. The program supports up to 12 multiscreen sessions. Local printing is supported to any Windows printer (both network and local) or to a disk file. File transfer with built-in compression allows you to transfer files quickly between Windows and Unix.

Also included with Termulator II is an automatic dialer. When you want to call a host computer, simply point and click. Termulator II will initialize your modem and dial the number automatically. You may create multiple phonebooks to group phone numbers by category.

Local Printing

To print to your local PC printer, you must first have installed the drivers onto the Unix system as described previously.

Termulator II supports several methods of local printing. Read the following list of options carefully and then pick the one that best suits your needs.

Printing a Unix file to your PCs printer

A driver is provided with Termulator II which prints a file to your Windows PCs printer. This driver is required if your application does not support local printing.

To print a file to your PCs printer, type: hprint <filename> For example, to print the file letter.txt in the directory /usr/docs to your PCs printer, type: hprint /usr/docs/letter.txt While the file is printing your keyboard will be temporarily locked.

Printing directly to your PCs printer from a Unix appli-cation which supports remote printing

(24)

Printing directly to your PCs printer through an intelli-gent serial board driver that supports local printing

(25)

Multiscreens

To activate multiscreens, you must first have installed the drivers onto the Unix system as described previously.

Termulator II supports two methods for handling multiscreens. Read the following list of options carefully and then pick the one that best suits your needs.

Using the SCO Unix mscreen command

A driver is provided with Termulator II which supports the SCO mscreen command. You do not need this driver if your system has an intelligent serial board which has its own multiscreen support. To switch between multiscreens when using Unix console emula-tion, hold the ALT and CTRL keys and press one of the function keys (F1-F12) to switch to a particular display screen.

Here are some things to be aware of regarding mscreen:

• To use mscreen with Termulator II running in Unix console emulation mode, you must install the SCO mscreen driver.

• Before using mscreen on your system for the first time, you must enable the pseudo-tty devices as outlined in your SCO Unix manual.

(26)

Using multiscreens with an intelligent serial board driver that supports multiscreens

Many intelligent serial boards (Computone, Arnet, Equinox, etc.) directly support multiscreens through the drivers supplied with the board. Termulator II includes special drivers for the Computone boards. For other manufacturers boards, follow the instructions for setting up multiscreens according to the manual. When using Unix console emulation, use the following codes:

Page # Key Code (hex) Switch Code (hex)

If you have problems

If you are having difficulty installing or using Termulator II, please follow this procedure:

1. If you are familiar with Windows Terminal (Hyperterminal for Win-dows 95), try connecting with this program. If you are successful, review your Port Settings in Termulator II.

2. If you are using a modem with Windows 95, test the modem as follows: Click START

Click SETTINGS

Click CONTROL PANEL Double-click MODEMS Click the DIAGNOSTICS tab

Click the entry for the modem you are using Click MORE INFO

Windows 95 will attempt to communicate with the modem. If it is unsuccessful, this indicates that your modem is not set up properly for Windows. If it is successful, review the Port Settings in Termulator II. 3. Call the vendor that sold you Termulator II. They can answer many

common problems quickly.
