Hello all

[Klarich, Terry]

Hey brent:

Well, Williams provides me a laptop.  On my laptop, I am running (or trying
to run) windows.  I use both jfw and jfd.

When my laptop  is docked, I have an ethernet connection to all the machines
I am responsible for.  I use telnet from my laptop to connect.

When I am in the data center, I use a serial connection directly from my
laptop to the console port of the machine I am working on.  We do not put
keyboards or monitors on our equipment in the data center.  In fact, I don't
know any organization that does.

It sounds like you were unable to edit a file properly because your TERM
environment variable was not set properly.  Generally, you should use vt100.
With ksh as your shell do:

TERM=vt100
export TERM

Note, "TERM" is in caps.

Terry

How do you access these type of systems with speech? Does speakup work on
those machines, or how do you edit files on those systems, because dos
communications programs don't edit remote files easily. I messed up my
shell account on my old provider because the arrow keys actually send weird
stuff to the file.
