- This "feature" was introduced in one of the later patches to UCX 1.3a - I
- logged a call about it on 19 May this year - DECs response was that under
- RFCsomethingorother, this was the correct behaviour.

- the telnet image.....
-
- The long term solution is to add entries for dec-vt100 etc to the termcap
- database on the unix host. I find it rather surprising that the UCX developers
- claim that this is the "correct" behaviour, yet I have still not found a
- Unix system (including the latest release of Ultrix) which supports this...
