I can feel a FAQ entry comin' on. We need a step by step for us booginners, all in one place. 1) disable vty clearing (My google yesterday failed to easily find this, so I gave up, and I think someone posted it recently too :/ 2) increase scroll-back buffer 3) disable scrolling (I think Andrei said this is possible), but only if it does wrap-around to the top of the screen 4) what key/mouse sequences to use to scroll back 5) commands to view the log after loggin in 6) more? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
