Persoft introduced a network version of its VT320 text terminal
emulation software package and version 3.0 of its multiuser DEC
VT240 graphics terminal emulator. Both are also available in
single-user versions.
 
Both SmarTerm 240 and SmarTerm 320 provide customized setups for
each user, and support any number of nodes. Supported networks
include Novell's NetWare, Banyan's Vines, DECnet DOS, IBM LANACS,
and 3Com/Bridge's Etherterm.
 
SmarTerm 320's emulation capabilities include downloadable
characters used by WordPerfect and Oracle, 132-column text
screens and double-high double-wide characters. A background mode
allows file transfer and other emulator tasks while you're in
your DOS application. To help you use DEC keyboard functions on a
standard PC keyboard, Persoft included a WordPerfect driver and
extended keyboard remapping.
 
SmarTerm 240 also includes LK250 keyboard support with this
latest update. It now supports all of DEC's VT 240 ReGIS graphics
command language permitting a full-screen display of a ReGIS
image on VGA, EGA, CGA, and Hercules systems.
 
Both SmarTerm 240 and 320 are priced in single-user versions,
five-user versions, and add-on kits for five more users.
 
Price: individual package 320, $195; file server 320, $895; file
server add-on kit, $550; individual package 240, $345, file
server 240, $1495; file server add-on 240 kit, $995. Trade-up
