[comp.sys.cbm] DesTerm Major Fxxkup

ut6y@vax5.CIT.CORNELL.EDU (04/26/89)

While I rather like DESTERm and have not had nearly as many problems as some, I did discover a MAJOR hole today when I used it for the first time to call a VMS system, namely, this one (CRNLVAX5/vax5.cit.cornell.edu).  When VAX5 sent the usual terminal-checking escape codes (ESC_Z and so on), my keyboard COMPLETELY locked up, including the Menu keys (CTRL_STOP).  The result is that I have to disable VT100 emulation to log in, then switch it back on, which is a bit of a pain.
