- Your right - I'm now confused!
-
- On a machine I admin in Greece, we use the ELOT928 character set to enable
- Greek characters to appear on the screen. But to allow this to work we
- need to login with telnet -8 or rlogin -8, or (and?) stty pass8, otherwise
- the high bit seems to be stripped....haven't quite checked what goes wrong,
- but if I login from a terminal server (eg Annex IIe) using normal telnet, I
- then need to stty pass8 before Elot928 workes properly.
-
- Or is this a totally unrelated problem, and I'm talking out of my rear end
- (again)?
