Re: more about garbled terminal



I see your point if you use the real terminal (monitor hooked to linux box) and if you use a telnet. I just hooked up my monitor to my server after I set the env var to vt100 to satisfy my telnet. The real terminal was skrewed up, so I had to set it back to ansi. I suppose it is the telnet daemons responsibility. I'll have to look into it.

As far as my understanding goes. All of this should be auto configured and
setup my the interaction btw the terminal and telnet daemon.

How is this not proper? I mean, if you are using vt100, then setting the
environment variable to vt100 should be the proper way. Am I missing
something?
