In the Linux related newsgroups many questions about term are coming back every couple of weeks, together with the answers to these questions. To reduce traffic to the newsgroup, in this section I shall try to make a composition of these questions and the answers to them. Some of the answers have been checked by me as I also had related problems. Others, I have just taken from the newsgroups without testing them.
vi presenting less than 24 lines on a window with 24 lines. There are two ways to get rid of this problem:
trsh -s telnet < hostname>.login filestty 38400term connections, whatever may be the reason of the crashes. So before starting applications people want to know whether their term connection is still alive or not. This can be checked using the following small shell script examples:
When you are using tcsh:
if ( { trsh -s true } ) then
...
endif
When you are using bash:
if trsh -s true; then ... fi
Netscape is causing people problems to get it to work with term. The good news is that it will work under term. Here is how:
1. Termify netscape
2. Edit /etc/services to declare port 1080 (or another port if you
like) for http like:
Service Portno./kind Used by
http 1080/tcp term
3. execute 'tredir 1080 80'
4. Fire up termnetscape
under Options | Preferences | Mail/Proxys
leave _all_ of the proxy boxes blank
set the SOCKS box to 'term' & 1080
When you exit the Options menu, you will get a warning about 'unknown socks server'; just ignore it.Next Chapter, Previous Chapter
