Hi, we have a problem useing our vt220 terminals over the net.
Our terminals are connected to a VMS system but we often
telnet over to a unix system on a gould.
The problem is that certain files and things make our terminals
hangup. We then have to escape the net and re-telnet back in.
This seems to happen at specific instances. It happens if
i delete 5 or 6 lines in vi. It often happens when using rn
. In particular when long lines are included. It always happens
in the same spots in rn. The problem can sometimes be avoided
by stepping thru the artical (hitting return instead of space).
We've tried all the possible vt220 settings to no avail.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Does anybody have vt220 termcap that might be better
than what i'm using?
What kind of character combination makes these terminals
hang-up?
thanks
