Hello, We recently installed some RT's running AIX 2.2.1. The whole installation went rather smoothly and we are pleased with the systems. However, one small problem is driving me nuts. When loggin in on the console, vi works just as it should. When logging in from a remote system using the `rlogin' command (with the environment variable TERM set to vt100) vi usually complains "Don't know enough about your terminal to use visual" and puts me in ex. The strange thing is that sometimes for no obvious reason to me vi doesn't complain and performs ok. The terminfo entry for the vt100 is in it's place, and when I set TERM to vt100 on the console vi doesn't complain. The system I'm logging in from is either a Ultrix or UTek system. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks. Ge van Geldorp. (...!uunet!hp4nl!dutrun!vlruo02)

This has hosed me too, for some reason only on my Xenix systems with Excelan TCP/IP rlogin. If I rlogin from a BSD machine (SunOS or Ultrix) it doesn't happen. Also, If I telnet instead of rlogin, I can use vi... -- Jim Morton, APPLiX Inc., Westboro, MA UUCP: ...harvard!m2c!applix!jim jim@applix.m2c.org
