It does work, no funny characters either.balamw said:I'll admit to being confused.
Does the linux box running the xterm "work" or does it still have the funny accented characters?
Do you mean for me to use X11? That's what I'm doing just now, it works but it's not the most elegant of solutions. I could look at X11 further and, perhaps, see if I can find a way of having an "X session" icon that launches X, with no other applications (it starts an xterm by default), then starts an ssh connection which, in turn, starts the remote application and opens it on the Mac.If xterm running vt220 emulation works, you should be home free on the Macs, just do exactly the same as that, including setting all the environment variables.
Time isn't on my side at the moment. The staff are going to have to use the work-arounds for now as it's company Year End today - stock-take time! Woo hooo.... mmmm .... and all the other stuff that goes with it... no fun for me then.
I've tried it with the font and the Mac Terminal. Can't persuade it to work at all, the terminal lacks much in the way of emulation settings. WRT Putty, I've not managed to progress with this because I've been unable to find libgtk for OS X. If you can point me to one of those I Putty should compile fine.If it doesn't you'll need either the font workaround I suggested or putty (or some other SCO ANSI terminal emulator) on your Mac.
Anyway, thanks for all the replies.
