[comp.sys.amiga] Dnet, termcaps, and confusion

kpmancus@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Keith P. Mancus) (03/23/89)

	There seem to be a large number of people asking about and
posting termcaps for the amiga lately.  None has yet addressed
my problem, however.
	These termcaps seem to work fine while running a 7 bit connection
to our VAX-8700, using, say, unixwindows.  However, they don't work
with Dnet.  Moving up or down a line in vi always moves the cursor to the
beginning of the next line, requiring ctrl-L immediately to clear
up the mess.  Worse, it always begins the vi display about 6 lines
down from the top instead of at the top, and it never recognizes that
those top 6 lines exist.  I thought the problem was in Dnet until
it occurred to me to try to login using unixwindows via an 8-bit
connection.  The same symptoms appeared; thus it is the 8 bit
connection that is the problem, not Dnet.  Could someone PLEASE
enlighten me as to what is going on?
	I don't have much time to read news anymore, so please email.
