Just a reminder.... UTS also supports full duplex ASCII terminals. This
can be done in several ways, including Ethernet, and our UTS/F full
duplex software and a 4705 FEP.

The full duplex mode supports vi, emacs, curses, terminfo, etc. It also
will emulate a 3270, so that applications that need 3270s can be
accessed from full duplex terminals.
