Use your DVI and Model 100 on the Internet!

These are the termcaps you need to use the built in TELECOM Application. They will let unix know about the screen controls that your DVI uses.

The DVI and the M200 have VT-52 functionality built in. For best performance, though, these custom termcaps are the best solution, and they are very easy for your local sysadmin to incorporate into the system termcap file.

Also, find out if your unix system already supports the M100 (mine did) by reading the above link. 

The termcaps are reasy to add to an existing termcap if you don't have it already.

 DVI Tip:

You can use any IBM compatible 360k 5 1/4 inch drive as the second drive for your DVI. The DVI has the standard connectors in it, ready for the drive to plug in.

While it won't screw in correctly, and you still only have use of one side of the drive (you are limited to the DVIs normal formatted capacity) you do gain the advantage of dual floppies for copying disks.

Of course, you can also use these drives as replacments for a dead floppy drive in a DVI.

You access the second drive as 1: where the original DVI drive is 0:.
