Dear Members,

I have aquired a load of old Wyse dumb terminals. I have a Linux system set up that I want to be the host for all of these. Now, I know these don't use cat5 or standard networking. They are all done through serial (com) ports. However, I researched this more and found a converter to switch it to go over cat5 and a special hub. I have set all of this up but I cannot get the Terminals to connect to the host properly. I know they are sending and recieving data, as symbols and such pop up. I have tried messing with the type (IE. vt100, etc), but to no avail. I always thought you could set these up and they would automatically be compatiable with a unix system as this was how it was done in the old days. It would be able to connect using TERM, as when you login at the box you open a terminal connection. Any suggestions or help would be great!

Thanks,
Phobos
