I used DG for some time in a similar environment, but with ancient terminal
annex devices that
were telnettable (TCP/IP), that used serial ports (on the DG box). One
connection at a time
per port, please. Thats a major limitation we dealt with regarding stuff
like this.

In the past, we wanted to continue to use our emulation because we had
mapped certain things
with function keys (or other keys) that werent readily transmitted via other
methods and it was
easier to leave things as-is.

Regardless, the request is not intuitive for me to follow closely until we
are on the same *** of music
with a couple of the things you mentioned, but you can consider a hardware
solution using an annex
terminal server.
