terminal problems with escape characters

terminal problems with escape characters

[Miguel González Castaños]

I have a RedHat 7.3 linux box. I have enabled the telnet server.

I am trying to telnet my linux box from a unix-like system where the default
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, because of the
escape characters like the ones to move the cursor dont work...That´s my main
problem.

Anyway, I have thought that maybe it was due that I was telneting to the Unix box
using  the Windows 2000 telnet, but I have tried to use other telnet programs
(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...

Miguel

Many thanks for the fancy telnet client.

I am going to specify my problem a little bit more:

I have set TERM to 'linux'.

When I edit with the vi program (or the bash prompt) delete and backspace works fine,
but not control characters, like
the Up, Down, Left,Right arrow keys, instead of that I get:

^[[B ,  ^[[A , ^[[C , ^[[D

I hope this is a more specific information on this issue. I have looked around in some
web sites, but I still cant figure
out how to fix it.

Many thanks

Miguel

It's the keymap settings that need changing or expanding.

Hi,

 Many thanks, but how can I change or expand the keymap settings rightly in
order that the other way of telneting my box still works and I can telnet
from the unix box?

 Many thanks again

 Miguel

I think the linux speakup site has a keymap editing tutorial but don't
know if it has the information in it you need.
