3424.0. "Unwanted Characters from TELNET CLIENT connections" by CSC32::L_DEGROFF () Tue Jan 28 1997 17:40

    Customer has a UNIX host connected to a DS700 port 1 configured as a
    dedicated TELNET port with session set to binary, only output flow
    control, and port type soft.  The DS700 port 1 makes a TELNET connection
    to a DS90TL remote access port 1, TELNET SERVER characteristic set to
    none, which provides a connection to a serial device which the UNIX box
    sends/received data from.  The problem is that when the UNIX box connects
    to the DS700 port, it seeds a data stream, 00707 0D.  The DS700 port then
    reponds with a 00707 ^M.  The ^M is causing problems with the customer's
    program.  He wants to know what it is and how to stop this character from
    being sent.  If he triggers the port connection by a LOCAL> CONNECT PORT
    1 command, the characters are not sent.  But, he does not want to start
    the connection this way because it would require monitoring the connection
    to make reconnections the same way if the link should go down.
    
    What are the characters ^M and how can the customer stop them from
    being sent to his UNIX host.
    
    Thanks

Ctrl-M is a carriage-return (control charracters are often represented with
the "^" prefix).  You should look at the Telnet Session characteristics on both
DECservers.  There are displays of the form:

Local> sho port 1 telnet client char

Port  1

You want to diddle with the "Newline" stuff.

3424.2NEWLINE char set to NONECSC32::L_DEGROFFMon Feb 03 1997 10:084
    All the NEWLINE characteristics are set to <NONE>.  Before setting them
    to NONE, the customer was getting a whole stream of characters back.
