Surely _somebody_ uses tip to connect between two FreeBSD boxes!

I can manage to log in (by hitting ^J after typing my password instead of ENTER), but once I'm in the keyboard is all messed up. Many keys produce nothing except a beep, making it impossible to do anything. Fortunately, the letters 'e', 'x', 'i', and 't' function, so I'm able to log out (hitting ^J for ENTER, of course)... :-) If I dial in using a Windows box, everything works fine, so I'm led to think that the problem lies with the stty or termcap settings on my local end (which I haven't modified from the defaults). I've dug through the stty man page, and nothing jumps out at me. I've observed similar (but much less debilitating) behavior over telnet connections. Specificly, if I telnet into another FreeBSD box and run pkg_manage, I must use ^J in place of ENTER. And, if I run pine, ^O (suspend new message) doesn't work at all. So, what might the solution be? I'm sure this problem has been faced before... (but it's not in the FAQ or handbook) thanks, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Owens Email: owensc@enc.edu "I read somewhere to learn is to Information Technology Services remember... and I've learned that Eastern Nazarene College we've all forgot..." - King's X -------------------------------------------------------------------------
