I am installing a terminal server environment to replace a windows network (running TCP-ICE for terminal emulation) and need to telnet into a HP-UX box running an accounting program called Embrace.
within embrace I can set up F1-10 hot keys to execute commands.
when i use windows clents with tcp ice every thing works just fine. Trying From the Linux side the F keys dont respond in the same way, out-put is OS and OF and unwanted junk.
I know the hp box uses ANSI key mapping and Linux Uses ASCII
I believe I need to use a VT100 terminal emulation for the telnet session -Possibly- to get the key mapping the same, so that the hot keys will respond.
Is this correct? can anyone please help
Kind Regards

Yes,You need VT100 terminal emulation on Linux.
 
Gr8.! Thanks for that
Now How would one go about getting terminal emulation ??
thats free! or emulating a terminal using existing linux technology
I have used the commands

TERM=vt100
export TERM
setterm -initialize

this doesnt work, is there something else i can try?
