I think the font is pretty nice as it is. And I'll try this next time I'll get on a Linux machine.

Hello,
you probably misread my post. I have problem to choose correct font for 9860G. It's screen is too small to use normal font.

Oh, ok, sorry. In that case, maybe something akin to Telnet 83, with a 3x4 font and a horizontally and vertically scrollable screen (much like when your screen is zoomed in).

Yeah that would be an idea, or maybe KermMartian's 3x3 fonts, although I don't think they had numbers, commas and dots.

EDIT: Actually Telnet used 3x5 fonts. This is the Telnet 83 program he's talking about by the way: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/71/7116.html . I bet they could be modified to be 3x4 though.

Juju, for this to work with USB one would have to emulate an well supported USB TTL chip, I know there was some talk on doing this on the TI-89T a while back but I doubt we know enough Prizm's USB controller to do this, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

How do you connect to Linux?

See (for example) this:http://linuxtechres.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-login-from-serial-port-under.html
But please use speed 9600, it is hardcoded in this verion of the fxterm.
So you will need to add line to your inittab:
s0:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100
to enable serial console on COM1

can you recompile the app with this icon?

Hi, thank you for icons, I will use them.

As a self-proclaimed VT100 expert, I have to say this is impressive! Yours is nicer than my VT100 emulator too: mine is only monochrome (though I recently added grayscale glyphs) and only 60 columns by 20 rows. Each character is 4x6 pixels (the screen 240x128). Mine doesn't even support setting top and bottom margins for the scrolling region, or double-width and double-height lines! I found it to be sufficient for some full-screen applications like "links", though.

How did you implement your emulator? Did you write a state machine? I used the pages at http://vt100.net/emu/dec_ansi_parser (which contains a very useful state diagram) and http://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/ to write my emulator. I haven't tried connecting mine to a Linux system yet, but I plan to do that before too long (if I can figure out how to make TiEmu act like a virtual serial port).

Hello,
I think we did a parallel job:-). I also used dec_ansi_parser, but another doc sources (thank you for link, I just downloaded vt100-ug doc).
I also do not support all escape sequences (I don't support these you mentioned and also fxTerm has problems with partial clearing of the screen - like clear line from cursor to end, etc.). My first target was to be able to login to the linux machine, correctly display output of man pages (= test text attributes) and run Midnight commander (mc -a for colors and -mc- a -b for another test). But the MC internal editor (like any other editor) is broken :-)
My fxTerm may be nicer, but it is only because I can use color display with more pixels. The released version uses font similar to one from old Casio calculator (6x8), but I created smaller fonts to have more characters on the screen. I will use them in next version.

Where does your TV100 emulator live ? I would like to see it (at least screenshots)
