[comp.sys.hp] How do I instruct telnetd to set EK characters

barbour@boulder.Colorado.EDU (BARBOUR JIM) (02/20/90)

Currently when I telnet to one of my machines, the EK characters are the
very arcane # and @ characters.

Is there a way to instruct telnetd (or whatever) to set them to be something
a little more reasonable (like ^H and ^U)?

Any help is appreciated.  I did manage to get /etc/issue to print when I
telnet to my machines.  This did NOT cause the EK problem.

But after you telnet to a host, the host runs the login program
against your pseudo device, making the device almost "raw".
This makes the Erase/Kill characters the defaults.

Since telnet just moves characters back and forth, I'm not sure that
it can actually map characters for the user's convenience.
