I just installed 2.0 on our '030 cube, and have run into a rather annoying problem. It seems that when logging into the NeXT from a vt100 emulation, ksh no longer scrolls through the command history correctly. BEFORE 2.0 you could press 'esc' and then 'k' would display the previous command line. Press 'k' again and you get the command line before that, etc. NOW if you press 'esc' and then 'k' the line remains blank. If you continue pressing 'k' you start getting k's on your input line. If you just do 'esc' 'k' ONCE, and press return, the previous command line is re-executed. Since this problem only seems to occur under 'telnet' I have to assume that 'telnet' is changed under 2.0. Since this behaviour renders telnet darn well useless, WHAT was changed, does it NEED to be changed, and can I get away with running 1.0 telnet under 2.0? -- C P. mrush@cscihp.ecst.csuchico.edu

To 'fix' this, put 'stty -extproc' in your .login (.profile?). You may need 'stty crt' too...I forget. Anybody know what -extproc is? NeXT said it isn't fixed in 2.1 either. -- Robert Hood - Network and Operating Systems Support California State University: Sacramento E-Mail: hoodr@csus.edu Phone: (916) 278-7402 Fax: (916) 278-7671

There have been two releases of the telnet software since the 4.3-reno versions that NeXT used. If I come up with something that works better than what NeXT distributed with 2.0, I'll post to comp.sys.next. stty -extproc explicitly disables LINEMODE telnet--this is something one normally doesn't want to do (assuming that the software is working correctly). -=EPS=-
