Eterm for DOS Overview

Eterm for DOS is designed to run under the MS-DOS environment. It is meant for those PCs that

either boot from a floppy diskette (dumb terminals) or that run MS-DOS from their hard drive.

You need to make one copy of the Eterm for DOS diskette for each PC that boots from its floppy

diskette and then modify each boot disk so that it correctly identifies the PC on your network.

Afterwards, configure Eterm for DOS on the PC so you can connect to your network. If you

copy the Eterm for DOS files onto those computers running MS-DOS from their hard drives, you

still need to configure Eterm for DOS on the PC so you can connect to your network.

With Eterm for DOS you can:

• Select, connect, and disconnect from a remote host system.

• Change how the emulator communicates with the remote host.

• Communicate with a host system over serial, modem, or TCP/IP (Transmission Control

Protocol/Internet Protocol) network connections.

• Print Eclipse screens.

• Display basic debugging information.
