As the people in the VMS forum suggested,
some description of the actual commands you
used, and the actual output you got, would be
more helpful than a description so vague as
"throws me garbage".

And, as also already suggested (more or
less), adding "-v" to your "ssh" command
might be helpful, too.

So you cannot read anything on the screen after typing ssh, correct? Or did you mean that you do see the login and profile steps but certain commands like sam or other menu programs have wrong characters? This condition means that someone has hardcoded TERM=something in /etc/profile or .profile, .kshrc, .bashrc, etc. Reflection is a very accurate and powerful emulator whiloe putty is a simple VT emulator. You must match the terminal characteristics to the environment. HP-UX has very nifty program called ttytype which will properly set these values.

So find all occurrences of TERM= (and LINES=, COLUMNS= and ERASE=) and comment or remove them. Remove the TERM code in /etc/profile and replace it with:

eval $(ttytype -sa)

This works for all terminal emulators and solves the problem of garbage characters and backspace keys that don't work. NOTE: the rp systems with a GSP or MP console bypass ttytype (don't ask) and override the console type. The key is to avoid using the GSP/MP port for anything except command lines.
