    I'm looking for the GTM device parameters for echo control (character/message reads):

    DTM

    K  U 0:(EA=0:EM=1) U:$P<9 0:VT=0
    

    EA - Echo on/off for character-mode read (READ *X)
    EM - Echo on/off for message-mode read (READ X)

    Our application runs on DTM/DOS where the "PC Console" (device 0) can be setup to emulate VT-220.

    VT - Enable/disable VT-220 emulation

    Can anyone recommend a VT-220 terminal emulator for Linux?  I've been using SecureCRT and like it, but I'd rather go open source.

    I believe GT.M has only one ECHO device parameter.  In any case, all device parameters are described in Chapter 9 of the Programmers Guide - go to http://fis-gtm.com and click on the User Documentation tab to access all current GT.M documentation.  GT.M uses ncurses for terminal emulation from the server side.

    There are a number of good terminal emulators bundled with most Linux distributions, and you should see what works best for your application.  On Debian/Ubuntu, for example, aptitude search term will give you a quite a list.  (If aptitude is not installed, apt-get install aptitude will install it for you.)
