We had this problem when we first brought the Cray in 1988. Later, we had HP 9000/700x x-terms hooked up to it. I have been trying to remember what we did to minimize the problem but it has been too long. There were a couple of things that I remember. One was notabs with stty. I think that just stopped the wierd flashing when you moved over a tab. The bell was something that I think was caused by things such as the repeat key on a teminal over driving the host computer. It didn't matter if it was running x or what. The end result was a mangled multi-byte, combo-key and a bell or something else strange was the result. I keep having "B"'s and etc. pop up along with a bell when I use the cursor's instead of hjkl. This is a mismatch on the terminal types. I figure it is a re-training session for my fingers.
