IBM 3287-1 Printer Support

TN3287 printing is supported by setting the Model option in the IBM 3270 Settings
dialog box to 3287-1. When a new Telnet connection is made, the TeemTalk window
display will change to show a message box which will indicate the current printer
status.
When printing commences a Print Abort box will be displayed enabling you to cancel
the print job. Note that this will stop print data being sent but will not disconnect you
from the host.

Network Virtual Terminal Mode

Network Virtual Terminal (NVT) mode allows the operator to communicate with a
network gateway (in ASCII) for routing, logon etc, before the full IBM terminal
emulation protocol is established. NVT mode is indicated by the
status line along the bottom of the window.
NVT mode displays an unformatted screen for data entry, allowing most of the
keyboard functionality for local editing. However, when the Enter key is pressed, the
line that the cursor is positioned on will be sent over Telnet as an ASCII string with
CR/LF terminators. The cursor will then be positioned at the start of the next line.
ASCII data received over Telnet will also be displayed at the current cursor position.
A CR character will be actioned as a 'new line' character, causing the cursor to move
to the start of the next line, scrolling the display if necessary. Once the appropriate
details have been entered to establish an IBM host session (which may be automatic),
the screen is cleared and switched into full IBM 3270 terminal emulation mode, as
indicated by the

SysReq Key Support

When the SysReq option in the Telnet Options dialog box is selected, the key
mapped with the SysReq function enables you to toggle the display and keyboard
entries between the host operating system and the application. This enables you to
switch to the operating system and issue a LOGOFF command. When communicat-
ing with the operating system the status line will display the
