What telnet client are you using? is it the "Windows 95 Telnet" (aka Cheesy Telnet)? The standard telnet which comes with Windows 4.0 is REALLY CHEESY, and completely FUBAR. If you are using it I feel sorry for you, and recomend you try a better telnet. I recommend CRT (Combined Rlogin and Telnet) from Vandyke (www.vandyke.com) It is by far the best I have seen. It comes with a 30 day free trial (yes...shareware...man its been SO LONG since I ever even thought about the concept of Shareware :) ) If it works under CRT then it is your telnet program ;) also... What is TERM set to? have you tried: (under bash) export TERM=vt100 (or under others: TERM=vt100; export TERM) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
