TERM problem

[kholikt]

I have set the TERM to vt100 but if I login remotely I always get the screen cut off in half especially using vi editor and more

[RAC_1]

How do you login remotely?

After login do
echo $TERM. What this says?

[T G Manikandan · Accepted solution]

Set the TERM variable to the type of terminal you are using on the remote machine.

WHat is the terminal you are working on the remote machine

[kholikt]

echo $TERM shows vt100. I login using telnet from a unix host

[Michael Tully]

Depending on your terminal emulator, you might try a different terminal type. Try 'hp' '70096' or 'hpterm'

[RAC_1]

what ttytype -s says.

(this will set your terminal to appropriate values)

man ttytype for details.

What is that unix host?
Is that sun machine?
What is the output of ttytype.
Are you working from openwindows.

use the command "resize" (you can also type "clear" to clear the screen and go to the top of the screen)
