Tim Buxton writes about problems with losing the ESC character from the arrow key codes when using a terminal emulator and PC connected to his Iris. We have had the same problem with both vi and emacs and PC's hooked to the Iris serial ports. It can be serious enough to make the editors unusable. We even have been having trouble with emacs and a dumb vt100 type terminal connected to ttyd1. Slowing the baud to 4800 seemed to help the terminal but that is not a desirable solution. We are currently running 3.2.0 so I don't know if the situation will improve with 3.3. Putting our PC's on the ethernet and using the NCSA package has made the PC's usable but the dumb terminal still has problems. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Adios Amoebas, | "I've tried and I've tried and I'm still mystified, | | Robert Briber | I can't do it anymore and I'm not satisfied." | | 224/B210 NIST | --Elvis | | Gaithersburg, MD |------------------------------------------------------| | 20899 USA | rbriber@poly1.nist.gov (Internet) | |(301) 975-6775(voice)| rbriber@enh.nist.gov (Internet) | |(301) 975-2128 (fax) | rbriber@nbsenh (Bitnet) | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
