Ever since I started with this new ISP, anytime I telnet into their machine, most of my lines of output are preceded by a single space (but not all of the time!). Vi output usually starts in column one, except for a couple of lines. Since I don't really ever login to that machine to do anything, I didn't really care and just wrote it off to some odd Linux bug. Yesterday I was playing around with rlogin, and found that if I rlogin to the Linux machine, there are no problems, and all output starts in column one as it should. I also noticed that things are fine if I telnet in from an xterm. I decided to hunt the problem down, and I found that setting the "inbinary" telnet option would fix it, but that causes the login sequence to screw up. E.g. it login looks like: login: mpp password: Last login.... Then it gets back to normal. I can live with the workaround I found above, but I thought I would ask here just to make sure there isn't some quirk in the FreeBSD telnet that should be fixed. And as long as I'm asking...I've also noticed that since I started with this ISP, anytime I telnet into their machine, or anywhere out in the world, the "del" key always gets interpreted as a backspace. Control-U works as a line delete, but NOTHING on my end, or the remote end has ^U mapped to anything! This happens with both telnet & rlogin. I've logged into freefall and verified that the del key is sending the correct data to the remote end, but it still gets taken as a backspace. My stty settings on the local and remote ends are: erase ^H kill ^? I suspect a PPP problem either on my end of my ISP's end, since with my old ISP everything was fine, but I had a SLIP connection then. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@legarto.minn.net "Go that way.
