Terminal emulator

Louis KRASSOI — Tue, 17 Aug 2004 03:41:36 GMT

When we use NetTerm to connect to the HP rx5670 which runs HP UX B.11.23, we cannot use the '@' symbol on the keyboard. The cursor jumps to the beginning of the line. This is an annoyance, because we write scripts in which we need to use the '@' symbol (eg. executing an Oracle script from within SQL).
We use also XVision, but have only a few licenses. With XVision there is no problem.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

Try putty,
I always use it without prolem, and it's free.

You can use putty. It contains all effective features and availble over free license.

we can use rlogin,telnet,ssh,ftp too. copy + paste very easy thing.

It will give more pleasure to work.

Is the NetTerm mapping the @ key to some other value?

Hello Rick,

No, the @ key is not mapped. We have been using NetTerm with SCO Unixware for years.

Hello Louis,

There's your problem. You've got kill mapped to @. kill = @
Try updating your .profile to us something else. Mine has
stty erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D"
That will map it to Ctrl-U.
When I type Ctrl-U, I get the same effect as what you described.

Putty is a good client, but NetTerm was once my favoirte term program. It's still a good client.

Tom
