7-18 Define Terminal connections
Terminal
To activate the Terminal application:
1 Go to the Internet applications main view.
2 Scroll down to Terminal and press Select.
The Terminal application is used to connect
directly (not via Internet) to a remote computer
by way of a data call.
The Terminal main view shows defined Terminal
connections. The Terminal application is similar
to the Telnet application, in that both applica-
tions emulate the VT100 terminal display
(see Figure 7-8). The display occupies the left
side of the screen (screen size is 80 characters in
24 lines).
Select the host and connection initiation proce-
dures the same way for a Terminal connection as
for a Telnet connection. To connect with a se-
lected pre-defined Terminal connection, press
Connect (see "Define Terminal connections: Ter-
minal connection" on page 7-19). To create new
or edit existing connections, press Define (see
"Define Terminal connections" below).
