Hi Brian, I'm about to take the leap from XP to Vista and was wondering if there are any issues with running AbsoluteTelnet on Vista. I'm happy if some of my apps don't work but I use AT a lot and it would deeply sadden me if I couldn't use it on Vista.

TIA,

Adrian

No issues that I'm aware of. I did have one report that port forwarding might be a little slow, but I have not been able to reproduce that issue and it seems to be isolated to a single user.

Let me know how you make out!

only missing vista64 support

The 32bit version should run fine on Vista64. Version 7 has some updates that increase Vista compatibility:

I'm having issues with the Function keys when using vt320 emulation on Vista.
I tried to go to your link to download version 7 but the page wasn't accessible.
Has anyone been able to get the function keys to work for vt320 on Vista?

You only have this problem under Vista? Could you be more specific about the nature of the 'issues'?

Generally speaking about functions keys... A lot of host apps require custom mapped keys in order to work, not the default VT330 keys. It might be a good idea to find out what the host is *expecting* to see in terms of escape sequences and then map the Absolute keys to mimic that. If you have some other terminal app whose function keys *do* work, that would be a help in determining how to map the keys.

The current version of 7, btw is 7.14 if you want to try that...
