Thsi same problem with DOS NCSA Telnet Problem with FTP Software (DOS) telnet and (Windows) tnvt terminal emulators: - in the preferences I can set Enter = cr+lf or Enter = cr cr+lf nor cr works perfect: FreeBSD is interpreting cr+lf as two Enters if I define Enter=cr FreeBSD is outputting characters ^@ (NULL?) to the start of next line and I cannot for example enter "." to the start of line (because FreeBSD is seeing the ^@ in the start of every line) It seems that FreeBSD's telnetd is waiting for NewLine character (^J) not the Return (^M) character at end of line. Other systems here (Linux, SunOS, HPUX) seem to accept both cr+lf and cr. Is cr+lf or cr a matter of TERMCAP entry (vt220, vt200)? Or is this problem in telnetd code?
