Howdy,
I'm trying to use tip the dial into a remote FreeBSD box (both ends
running 2.1-stable). 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,
---
