HP3000 guest systems running on Charon-HPA can be accessed directly from the Linux emulator host using either of two freeware terminal emulators listed below, both of which run directly on the Linux host desktop, or by simply using the telnet command. Each has limitations, however. Neither terminal emulator provides a reliable way to paste multiple lines of text into :EDITOR , for example.
Once the HP3000 network is configured, it may be preferable to connect to the virtual HP3000 from a networked PC using any of the robust commercially-available terminal emulators.

Using PuTTY
The PuTTY terminal emulator is the preferred method to use as the HP3000 console. It does not, however, support HP terminal escape sequences, so any inverse or highlighted text codes will be ignored, and block mode applications cannot be run. Using PuTTY in telnet mode (as supplied) allows use of the Break key. PuTTY supports copy and paste. To copy text to the clipboard, just select it with the left mouse button (this automatically copies the selection to the clipboard). To paste the clipboard into a PuTTY window, use Shift-Ins . Unfortunately, PuTTY cannot be used to reliably paste large blocks of text (even with MPE type-ahead enabled), as data overruns can easily occur.
