PuTTY is completely free and can be made to work perfectly.
It just takes setting several options in it's config, and then those options
are stored in the windows registry so it's a little inconvenient copying the
working setup from one pc to another.
You can do it though, you can export a registry branch from regedit and then
import it on a new machine.


Really? That would be ideal. My quick experiments with putty showed
that the termcap problem persisted. The apps require the delete and
function keys to work in a certain way. What registry hacks does one
use to emu SCO ANSI in putty?


You can configure Putty to be SCO friendly, use its config menu and save
the modified settings.

Use Putty to connect,
Click the top left widget, this shows a drop-down menu
Choose "Change Settings"
Go to "Terminal", "Keyboard"
Set the backspace and Home keys to your preferences
Set "The Function keys and Keypad" to "SCO"
etc
Click "Apply"

I find saving the modified settings is a bit quirky and unintuitive, you
may have to create a new session first, configure it and save it. Then
add "-load sessionname" to the properties of a desktop shortcut.

The registry entries appear under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions
but I haven't tried copying settings by exporting & importing registry keys.

Fantastic, that works very well! The only thing that people would
complain about is the graphics characters coming thru as garbage - can
you suggest a fix for that?

It depends how the graphics characters are being generated.

The following works for me ...

Window, Appearance, choose a suitable monospaced font.
(I use Lucida Console)

Window, translation,
set "received data" to the required character set (e.g. CP437)
set "handling of line-drawing" to "Unicode"

YMMV.

If not, they can just live with it -
hardly necessary just to put in shipping information. I'll still try
termlite, but I am happy now! :)
