Message-ID: X-X-Sender: jroberts@mail.ashland.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, again! =) Recently (and frighteningly) CKermit 6.0/BSD has started repeating every (expletive) character I type to the remote host. This is the same behavior (in Kermit and other serial programs) that I observed in SCO, so it's not strictly a Kermit problem (and never happens when I use Kermit on non-UNIX platforms). What confuses is me is why, without my having changed anything, it just started happening (after a week of normal behavior). Never happens when I switch back to local view of file system -- just when I'm viewing the remote system. Could someone tell me why this occurs, and how to change it? I have to reboot to OS/2 to dial out, now. I've tried temporary adjustments in the terminal settings, but to no avail. Second serial port, USR Sportster. Other host is VT100 and up on SunOS 4 system. I'm at 2.1.7-RELEASE. Please just email me in private if you think this is too simple for the list. I couldn't find anything in the docs on this problem. Thanks!
