The console of a sun here was afflicted with a strange "scrolling" fit. A "man something" leads to output which can be barely read as everything whizzes by in a jiffy. I used the eeprom command to set rows=20 and that behaviour stopped. What puzzles me is that other suns which did not exhibit this behaviour had rows set to 0 !!!!

The funny scrolling comes when you've done set term=vt100 and run vi,... Vt100 uses <ESC>[#r (# a number) to set up something on VT100. On sun console <ESC>[#t set's screen scroll to jump # lines. To reset the console do echo "<ESC>[1r". More info can be found in Sun reference manual, section 4 ( atleast in sunos 4).
