Okay, stupid question time. Running X11R3 on Berkeley systems (Dec, Tek) and OSF/1. rlogin, rsh, etc to an SV-based system (running R3 also). The new system doesn't have a clue what size my terminal is. Is this because the term type doesn't make it over properly, the pty is broken, or what? It happens when communicating with other Berkeley systems as well, but at least I can stty rows & columns. 1) What's the fix? 2) If none, what's the workaround for SV? Thanks, Miles

SVR2, SVR3, and SVR4 are so different from each other that they may as well be different os'es. We run a fairly straight SVR4 here, and have no problems of this type. SVR2 and SVR3 don't have sockets, so if you are using one of these, they were added by your vendor, and may not be complete with respect to window sizes (SVR2 and SVR3 only support the LINES and COLUMNS environment variables as far as I know).
