Solution: The problem was with the TERM variable. I changed the TERM variable to vt100 and it started working fine. however i could not take advantage of the user friendly features of LINUX especially in vi editor. So i did the following. created a file .telnetrc in the root directory and also in /etc/skel/ . i wrote <servername> environ var TERM = vt100 in the .telnetrc file. this allowed me to maintain TERM = linux when working within Linux and sent TERM = vt100 to the other server. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
