Hello,
we use a software remotely via Kermit & TCP-IP. This software recognizes
the Escape-key (and character) and associates the function "one level back"
to it. On the other hand the terminal emulation (Kermit VT220) uses escape
sequences for cursors keys (e.g. <ESC>[B for cursord-down). Now this software
(yes, it does support a VT220) has to distinguish between a single escape
and an escape that is part of an escape sequence. Obviously this is done via
the delay between the bytes. And if the line is a bit slow you don't have
the cursor keys anymore :-( Thus, is there a way to tell Kermit that it will
send escape sequences in a single packet or something the like? I agree, this
is not a problem of Kermit but of the remote software (no way to disable the
escape key or remap it). But perhaps Kermit can offer a way to get around
this problem?
Regards,
Christoph Gartmann
