8569.0. "Why doesn't telnetd set terminal-type in PC ?" by DEKVC::JEONGEUNKIM () Thu Jan 23 1997 23:46

    Hi,
    
    My customer has gotten a bad terminal environment when he tried to
    telnet to Digital V3.2C Korean support on A2100_A500.
    His telnet client of PC is made by ftp Co.
    In detail, after displaying login prompt, he puts username, and
    password prompt appears off about 10 spaces from first columns.
    After all because of this problem, my customer can see a just one
    characer at last columns, so he cannot see what's going on on his PC.
    I tried to change terminal type of PC, but always the terminal type 
    connected is DEC-VT220 8 bit mode. 
    I cannot change the terminal type in side of PC.
    But after login, if I reset the terminal using reset(1) command
    whatever the terminal type connected is, everying is all right.
    
    The following is rough examples, because I cannot remember exactly the
    output of the problem.

                                    DEC OSF/1 V3.2 (Rev. 214); Tue Jan 21
    
    
    Is there anybody handle this terminal ?
    If you know, please dont throw your idea away. Help me.
    
    Thank you in advance.

	The evnironment varibles can be passed (at least in the UNIX to UNIX scenerio by: telnet telnet> environ define TERM telnet> open <hostname> Alternately The user could define the TERM variable in their .profile/.login/.cshrc file.

	It also looks like the terminal emulator needs to translate LF into CRLF. There may (should) be a setup item for this. The second part (one character in the last column) will probably be fixed by this, but will probably still annoy you if any of your lines are more than 80 characters. Try setting autowrap on. PJDM
