Apparently-To: kermit.misc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu
I have written a Kermit script which runs on a PC and automatically enters
data into a database running on an IBM RS6000 computer.
Everything works as I would expect until the end when the script tries to
send the appropriate sequences to log off from the RS6000. At that point it
puts ^O on the screen and apparently crashes.
Further investigation revealed that it doesn't crash - instead, it comes out
of the script and into connect mode where I seem to have to type CTRL N
and <Return> before it will talk again.
The root cause of the problem appears to be the sequence:-
ESC [ 63 ; 1 " p
which is sent by the RS6000. As far as we can establish, that is supposed to
select a VT mode and perform a soft reset.
I tried setting TERM to a non-Ansi type (eg VT52) just before the
sequence was due to arrive but it didn't solve the problem.
Incidentally, if I go through the whole procedure in connect mode, Kermit is
quite happy!
Does anyone have any ideas?
