What settings should I use so that the emulation is correct for SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 (and later)?

Changing the following settings should improve the emulation when the remote machine is running SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 or later:

  1. On the CRT™ or SecureCRT® Session Options dialog, Emulation category, select "SCOANSI" as the "Terminal" emulation. The SCOANSI emulation should be used with any SCO server. Also, ensure that the rows and column settings are appropriate. SCO applications generally prefer 25x80.
  2. On the Session Options dialog, Emulation/Advanced category, check the "Terminal type" check box and enter "ansi" in the associated text box. This will send "ansi" instead of "scoansi" when you connect. In SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and later, "scoansi" is no longer mapped to "ansi", and so "ansi" must be specified manually.
  3. In versions of CRT and SecureCRT prior to 4.1, the Terminal font works best. On the Session Options dialog, Appearance category, select "Terminal" as the "Normal font". Make sure that the "Character encoding" option is set to "Default" in the Emulation/Advanced category.
  4. In CRT and SecureCRT 4.1 and later, use the Terminal font by selecting "Terminal" as the "Normal font" on the Session Options dialog, Appearance category. Make sure that "Character encoding" is set to "Default" in the same category.

    It is also possible to use a TrueType Windows font. To do this, on the Session Options dialog, Appearance category, select a TrueType Windows font such as Courier New or Lucida Console and set "Character encoding" to OEM.
  5. Finally, on the remote machine, make sure the TERM environment variable is set to "ansi".
