Hi,

I'm on a school network and have a RedHat 8 box set up for the computer
club so play with.  I also use telnet to computer to launch a SSH session
to my home computer (which refuses telnet).  I don't install SSH on the
windows clients because there are too many of them, our network is
(reportedly) secure, and I'm not the admin.  I understand that telnet is
a great way to give my passwords out.

That said.  I often find that when using VI in a telnet window and
scrolling one line at a time, only the last line of text changes.  This
makes text-editing a real pain.  Scrolling works much better by
specifying 20 lines at a time, but it's still a pain.   Is it possible,
and does anyone know how to get my telnet server to force the screen to
refresh with each scroll command?  Keep in mind that I have control over
the redhat box, but not all the windows computers we access it from.

Thanks for your ideas!

Ben Dugdale
