I am currently using SCO Xenix 2.3.3 and SCO Xenix 2.2.3 on two 80386 machines running Excelan's LAN workplace version 3.7. I also have DOS LAN Workplace version 3.5 running on an MSDOS based 80386/20. All three machines have Excelan 205T cards in them. I have Xenix-Net for both Xenix machines as well but not for the DOS machine. I am having trouble with terminal emulation over telnet. My arrow keys (Vt100 emulation) send ESC [ A to ESC [ D when pressed -- to the host. These characters are interpreted SOMETIMES as separate characters (what I would guess/gather is a function of curses). This is not such a problem when in 'vi' as "ESC" just takes me out of insert mode and [A-[D are pretty meaningless. However, when in Informix or other programs, ESC is the "SAVE SCREEN" key and the A-D can be Add, Change, or Delete on ring menus. This is not good. I have found that, although telnet fails, that rlogin for Xenix->Xenix terminal emulation appears to work OK. Could someone please explain the difference between rlogin and telnet to me? I assume they use different servers? Also, if you know of a source to get an rlogin that will talk over the LAN WORKPLACE for DOS, I'd be forever grateful. Any help from anyone on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
