Hi, if I'm telnet'ing into a server and if I issue the command echo '12\t34' I will see '12\t34' on some (freebsd) machines and '12 34' on others machines (AIX). And on other machines we see the \t come back as the ascii tab (0x09). I need to learn how to control configure the telnet session to be able to translate the tab (the \t) or to not translate. The stty -oxtab I thought was to allow tabs to go untranslated. If I issue 'stty oxtab' to enable translation of tabs, I don't see freebsd substitute spaces for the tab. Likewise I can't change AIX's behavior with the stty command. what else is involved with being able to turn on and off the tab translation over a telnet session? thanks, jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
