baldwin@usna.MIL (J.D. Baldwin) (12/08/89)
I use NCSA telnet 2.2 on a Zenith 248 (AT compatible). I work on a system that runs 4.3 BSD Unix. Sometimes, when I accidentally list out a binary file, I get the usual garbage characters on my screen. Then, when I stop the listing (either by waiting for it to end, or by hitting ^C), everything I type (or is typed back to me) is in "garbage" characters--the character set seems to have been mapped to the upper half of the IBM extended character set. Nothing I do (Alt-R for reset, clear, stty, etc.) clears this problem, short of logging off and logging back on. The same thing has happened to me working at home from Procomm 2.4.2, which is why I think that the solution lies in comp.unix instead of some group about terminals. Thanks in advance for any help! If replies are by e-mail, I'll summarize. -- From the catapult of: |+| "If anyone disagrees with anything I _, J. D.
