We have Bridge CS/1's and CS/200's running s/w version 20000 into Suns running SUNOS 4.0. The telnet client on the Bridge boxes passes a <CR><NUL> string (which is produced by the Suns as per the telnet protocol spec) to the terminal as is (i.e. without stripping the <NUL>). This upsets terminals which may use \015 as part of their cursor address sequence. Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix for it? The Australian agents are mainly into XNS, and do not seem to understand the problem. John Moorfoot ARPA: jgm%charlie.oz.au@uunet.uu.net UUCP: ...!uunet!munnari!charlie.oz!jgm

We also have problems with Bridge telnet handling of <CR><NUL>.
On some versions of their software it is broken. They know about it
but refuse to supply fixed software. More recent versions are capable
of doing the "right thing". It is configurable in case you want to do
the wrong thing.

This is a confusing paragraph. 3com has fixed the problem, but refuse to supply the software. Is that the point? Perhaps you don't have a service contract. They are reasonable good about suppling updates if you are on a service contract. Most companies will not just give software away (check out Sun's dot-dot releases), but they will give it to service-contracted sites and usually sell it to others. Is this not your experience? >-- >Dan Schlitt Manager, Science Division Computer Facility >dan@ccnysci City College of New York >dan@ccnysci.bitnet New York, NY 10031 > (212)690-6868 Stan internet: sob@bcm.tmc.edu Baylor College of Medicine Olan uucp: {rice,killer,hoptoad}!academ!sob Barber Opinions expressed are only mine.
