Using tek4010 with a telnet 3270 server

[vinatron]

Hello, I recently built this project on the latest Debian and was trying to use it like an interactive terminal. However if I run anything the application starts but any keyboard input I provide is not passed on to the application. I have read the documentation and don't see anything I'm doing wrong but I may be. If you could give any pointers as to why this would happen I'd surly appreciate the assistance because I'm chasing my tail here.

Thanks, Vincent

Hi,You have to start tek4010 in a terminal window. It should open a new window tek4010. If something goes wrong, you should see error messages in your terminal window.Now, click on the new window just opened by tek4010. Now the keyboard should point to the tek4010 window.Thanks for trying to use this application.Rene RicharzAm 24.04.2024 um 16:10 schrieb vinatron @.***>: Hello, I recently built this project on the latest Debian and was trying to use it like an interactive terminal.

Thank you for the reply. I will try that again and see what I get.

This is whats happining. is this the correct way to launch it? If not what is the correct way to launch it for interactivity?

As far as I can see, you try to run a terminal emulator such as getty or C3270 from within tek4010. This cannot work, because tek4010 is by itself a terminal emulator.

Just to try something interactive, use for example tek4010 ssh localhost

What do you want to achieve? When using getty or C3270, what is the program or host you want to connect to? And how are you doing that without using tek4010? Try using the command which establishes your connection without using a second terminal emulator.

Thanks for the suggestion. Trying to see if i can get it to run GDDM applications from a 3270 host. I know this isn't supported C3270 yet but i thought it would work great on tek4010s. Here's an example of what im doing with GDDM in PCOMM.

Tried SSH this is the result no shell prompt no input accepted.

ssh will not work unfortunately. I forgot about that.

But in your second last picture I see that you are connected to a host at 127.0.0.1 using port 3270. I assume this is using the special telnet 3270 protocol. I see no way that you can use this with tek4010 unless the standard telnet protocol is used.

I see ill have to convert it somehow then. So if I setup a plain telnet server on Linux I should be able to get a bash shell?

[rricharz]

Yes, a plain telnet server and using „tek4010…telnet … will do.
