v30170@VAX1.CC.UAKRON.EDU (001.) (04/26/91)
I have been trying to use emacs from a modem link for quite
some time, without any luck. Here is my setup:
A1000, 512K, running VLT, vt100, NComm1.92...
dial into DEC Vax running Ultrix at 2400 baud, 8N1
I have no problem running emacs once typing vt100 at the 1>
prompt. The problems occur when I attempt to scroll down the screen.
The command line(at the bottom) scrolls up with the rest of the page, and
impedes my ability to further any input. Any suggestions?
Signed,
Confused, bewildered, and
slightly befuddled...

I'd suggest to check carefully how many lines your terminal is set to and
how many lines your system thinks you are. Other people may be able to help
you further - I don't have access to UNIX systems and don't run emacs. But
I do know there are people using it and that it works for them.
Willy.

I use Emacs on a DEC VAX running VMS with VLT JrComm both on custom screens. My guess would be, the VAX doesn't know how many lines you have. If you running on the WorkBench screen, find out the number of lines you have (22 or 23 I guess) and type: SET TERM/PAGE=number-of-lines-here If you are running from a custom screen, type: SHOW TERM You will get a whole bunch of stuff, but at the top you will see something like this: Terminal: _LTA6742: Device_Type: VT200_Series Owner: ItsCold&ItsDark Username: SIROTTO LAT Server/Port: CIR112/E211-H12-4-2 Input: 4800 LFfill: 0 Width: 80 Parity: None Output: 4800 CRfill: 0 Page: 24 Look where it says "Page:" If it doesn't say 24, type: SET TERM/PAGE=24 I hope that helps . . . ___ __ |\ |\ | / \ Internet: sirotto%maple.decnet@pine.circa.ufl.edu | \ | \ | / ...!uunet!uflorida!pine.circa.ufl.edu!sirotto%maple.decnet | \ | \ |--< Bitnet: "sirotto%maple.decnet%pine.circa.ufl.edu"@NERVM | \| \|___\____/ SirOtto -- Gallant Knight of a rather large, squarish | Michael E.
