I'm using KA9Q for a SLIP connection to our local terminal server, so that I can use Telnet and FTP services. Also, when I telnet to our local UNIX machine, I would like my PC to act like a VT100 terminal. Herein lies the problem. First, when the terminal output reaches the bottom of the screen and the lines scroll up, the first character of the bottom line that scrolls up disappears. This has the effect of the entire first column of the screen being blank if the screen scrolls for more than a few lines. Also, when I enter VI, the screen flips into 40-column mode, and there is no easy way to get out of this. Is there any way that this can be remedied? I'm using KA9Q with an IBM PS/2 Model 50, and the ANSI.SYS display file. I suspect that the problem lies with ANSI.SYS, but I don't know exactly what that problem is. Thanks, -D.

Try using my latest version of NOS (available from thumper.bellcore.com under /pub/ka9q/nos) and Ron Henderson's version of NANSI.SYS (also on thumper, under /pub/ka9q/nansi). Both work quite well with emacs here. The erasing of the first column is the fault of the old ansi.sys; for some silly reason, it displays NUL as a space, and NUL often follows CR in telnet output. Ron's version ignores NUL, and it also does nondestructive TABbing. My recent version of NOS fixes newline mapping on output (among other things), so together you should have much better results. Phil
