I have enabled the telnet server. I am trying to telnet my linux box from a unix-like system where the de= fault terminal setting is set to ansi. I have succesfully changed the setting for the TERM variable to 'linux'= or 'vt100' or even 'xterm' (as I have found in several news). But I am still experiencing when I edit files with the vi program, beca= use of the escape characters like the ones to move the cursor dont work...That=B4s= my main problem. Anyway, I have thought that maybe it was due that I was telneting to th= e Unix box using the Windows 2000 telnet, but I have tried to use other telnet pr= ograms (like putty), but I cant figure out what I have to change in the linux = box settings (or the telnet client)... Many thanks in advance...
