Does anyone have a quick way to make Linux telnet work with SCO?<br>
<br>
Apparently SCO uses something called SCOANSI? Mostly it seems to be<br>
compatible but any of the SCO menu driven stuff is unreadable and<br>
backspace is broken.</blockquote><div><br>As Sean said, using Ctrl-H might work instead of the "Backspace" key; in either case you can also use stty(1) on the SCO system to make it adapt to whatever ASCII sequence your Backspace key sends.<br>
If the Backspace key works at the command line but not inside other programs (vi, for example) then you'll need to escape it:<br> stty erase <Ctrl-V><Backspace><br>will generally work. If on the other hand hitting Backspace at the command prompt simply displays a control sequence of some sort, then<br>
stty erase <Backspace><br>should be sufficient. As of that point, the backspace key should function normally.<br><br>As to the menu-driven stuff, you're largely going to be S.O.L. unless it's actually termcap/terminfo-driven. In which case, your best bet would be to use an xterm, not the Linux console as I don't know of any SCO systems that have a termcap entry that matches the Linux console...<br>
<br>Best option I can think of for compatability if you need true SCOANSI would be to tunnel X by SSHing to the SCO system and run "scoterm" or "dtterm" (typically found in /usr/dt/bin, IIRC) one of which should provide full emulation. Or run a Windows terminal emulator that supports SCOANSI under WINE :-)<br>
