Copy Pasting on HP-UX terminals

[Shivkumar]

Thanks Bill.

Sometime tty terminal freezes and we can't type anything on the terminal. This is probably due to some mistake while type keyboard characters.

So what are those characters which locks the terminals and how to unlock it ?

After years, I finally figured out how to do this with an hpterm. Just use xmodmap and create a reset term key.
But I doubt SecureCRT is the same.

Dennis is correct about HP terminals (hpterm and Reflection for HP). The HP terminals are quite sophisticated and binary files can send escape sequences to the emulator that leave it in an undefined state. However, SecureCRT emulates dumb terminals and they do not have as many features as HP smart terminals. But garbage characters can confuse the emulator so to reset the terminal, select Edit -> Reset.

Could xon (ctl-s)characters be in the mix of characters in the data stream? Therefore, if you press the ctl-q ("x-off") the terminal will start scrolling.

Just an easy "Perhaps."
