Some ideas for you...

1) There is a VB sample on the Visual Studio 6 CD that uses MSCOMM to do a terminal emulation (from what I can tell). You might be able to adapt that example.

2) Terminal emulation programs (I have experience with Reflections II Plus) allow you to write scripts that can do things like log onto a host and interact with them (input keystrokes and also wait for prompts to appear). These scripts can be called from the command prompt which means that you could call them from VFP.

3) In theory you could attached the terminal connection to a serial port and then read and write keystokes to the host. I have never tried this though.

P.S. Have you posted this question before? I am getting deja vu...
