Re: xterm problems
If you are using X, consider xon instead of telnet. You will need to
fix up an .rhosts file at the other end so that you can log on without a
password for this to work.
Obviously logging on in this manner has security implications, and you
should consider them before you implement this. Using ssh would be a
better choice, but this probably isnt an option unless the remote machine
has it or you have root priviliges to put it there.
xhost + remotehost; xon remotehost causes the remote host to display an
xterm on your screen, using its own terminal database, avoiding the problems
you describe below.
