MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi I'd say I'm not happy with the terminal (termcap/telnetd e.d.) under FreeBSD... When telnetting from a FreeBSD host to another host I often get problems... (e.g. on an digital unix I get some l3's and enters instead of just enters, and sometimes the char's start at the wrong place (e.g. with elm the prompt is in the word right in front of the prompt)) And when telnetting TO a FreeBSD host I don't get problems that often, but especially when telnetting from a DOS machine (with NCSA telnet) I get double enters... Can't something be done on that problem!? It's really driving me crazy when working on one of those machine's and other people who have to work that way don't like it either... I hope on some comments that can make this little part of FreeBSD a little better... (altough I'm happy with it - and I don't want to upgrade my whole system)... Paul
