Dear all,

Would need some advise/suggestion/assistance out there. It's like this: I'm recycling some of the old Pentium One pcs to be installed with DSL, (Well, I'm suprised that DSL could work well in Pentium One PCs, it's really a pleasant suprise) these pcs will act as dumb terminals in my company for our in-house erp system (Our erp system is running on unix)

Previously in Window$, I would have used hyperterminal to access to our unix server and the user would do their data entry etc etc, so I was wondering is there a similar hyperterminal applications for DSL so that I can use these pcs installed with DSL to access to our erp system via hyperterminal?

Any advise/suggestion/assistance would be greatly appreciated  :D

Apps -> Net -> Microcom
Hyperterminal is just a telnet frontend.

Either microcom or just plain old telnet should work.

Minicom is another good telnet-type comm program.

Use " apt-get install minicom " ..  it is a small download.

I like it better than microcom...
