Is your TERM variable set to vt320? There are also a bunch of wyse types. See /usr/lib/terminfo/v/* and /usr/lib/terminfo/w/*. (or /usr/share/terminfo/...)
On other systems there is a file in /etc/ that specifies what kind of terminal is on which serial line (gettydefs or ttytype or something like that). I don't see it on my system. I have the stock getty and it might take one of the other getty packages to have that file... jim > ---------- > From: Eric[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2000 12:34 PM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Making my vt320 useful > > actually, it's not a vt320, it's a wyse which emulates a vt320. my > question is this: how do i get special keystrokes like control-X to > go through as if i was typing on a local tty?
