Re: Problem using vi in telnet session
I recently took a class on Unix and we used Win95 machines to Telnet into our server and vi acted "weird." The instructor acknowledged this and said that there was nothing we could do. I would suggest using a Windoze X Client software in place of Telnet. We use Exceed and it works well. There may be something available that is "free" but I don't know.

Hello,
I'm running a hamm system and mostly login through a telnet window on
my win95 machine (I have only one monitor as of yet).
When I run vi in the telnet window, I get some strange behavior. Just
about no matter which key I press, the screen blanks, and then vi
begins to save a copy of the file. (BTW, deselect also acts strangely.)
When I plug my monitor into the Linux box and login at the console, vi works
fine.
I asked someone about this and he said it might have something to do
with the terminal type of my telnet client. The win95 telnet client
I'm using emulates a VT100-ansi.
Has anyone experienced this kind of situation? Can anyone point me to
the appropriate docs, or offer a solution? I looked in "Running Linux",
but couldn't find any info there.
Tia,
--David
