Subject: kermit-95 linux terminal type emulation problem
Date: Mon, 01 Jan 2001 23:06:37 +0100
Organization: UUNET-NL (http://www.nl.uu.net)
Message-ID: <0gu15tkoe38u4ghd7937do07s14ecpqife@4ax.com>
To: kermit.misc@columbia.edu
I have encountered this problem with using kermit-95 1.1.20 and its
linux terminal type emulation.
When I use it to telnet to a server running Red Hat Linux 7.0, the
terminal emulator goes berserk whenever I start vi. Vi will not
respond to typing a colon, it will beep. I can only leave vi by typing
ZZ.
I have narrowed the problem down to escape sequences that change the
cursor visibility.
After changing these lines in the linux entry in /etc/termcap from
:vb=200\E[?5h\E[?5l:ve=\E[?25h\E[?0c:vi=\E[?25l\E[?1c:\
:vs=\E[?25h\E[?8c:\
to
:vb=200\E[?5h\E[?5l:ve=\E[?25h:vi=\E[?25l:\
:vs=\E[?25h:\
the problem disappeared.
Looks like a bug in kermit-95 to me, though I did not see it in
