telnet disconnect during paste

Steve Faidley — Tue, 16 Oct 2001 15:24:48 GMT

I use CRT and when I paste say 10-20 lines into a vi session on SOME systems I get disconnected. Other systems that are the same model/OS Rev work fine. I'm sure it must be a simple setting, but which one.

Looks like the 'pasting data' is having some CTRL-D or invisible chars that are causing the telnet to terminate.

Compare the stty outputs the systems and see what's different.

Check your .profile scripts for the command

set -o ignoreeof

If it isn't there add it. This will prevent you from accidently dropping the connection when you send an eof character (ctrl-D).

NO, it is not a CTRL-D!!!!!!
I feel it has something to do with a tty/pty buffer size.
If I set "char delay" and
"line Delay" to 25/25 the output of my paste looks like a 1981 teletype output but it does not disconnect.
It has to be something with a buffer overflow.
