An NS/VT terminal emulator for *nix
Welcome to the
freevt3k page.
What is freevt3k?
freevt3k is a free NS/VT terminal emulator which gives Unix machines the ability to establish virtual terminal session to the HP3000 platform. Two programs are available in this package, freevt3k and xhpterm. freevt3k is a character based program which has the ability to do simple HP to VT100 or VT52 escape code conversion, thus making many programs usable on non-hp dumb terminals.
Does is support Block Mode?
For X windows capable machines, xhpterm is an X windows version of freevt3k with extensive HP terminal emulation. Block mode programs such as NMMGR are usable through xhpterm.
Where can I get freevt3k?
Linux binaries are available for download here.
Source tarball is available for download here.

Much
of the information contained on this site was copied directly from the
original freevt3k webpage at http://www.anime.net/freevt3k/
There
are numerous copywrite notices throughout the code. Many of the
files do have a notice of being released under the GNU GPL, no version
listed (likely v1 due to the age of this code). Since the telamon
and telalert ftp sites aren't working any more I had to scavange for
the code. Found it on RapidShare of all places. I set up this
sourceforge project in the hope that the code wouldn't be lost
again.
