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. Jim Barbour (Student Systems Administrator, University of Colorado, Bobcat Lab)

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. johnb
