I have a wyse-60 terminal at home that I use to log in to
a Sun 3/280 at work. I would like to use the 132 column mode
on the wyse. So far, I have re-written the termcap entry to
allow the ANSI cursor movement sequence, and set stty cols to 132.
This *almost* works. The symptoms are: when using vi, the
editor seems to be confused as to where the cursor is and will
often (but not always ) print characters in the wrong places on
the screen. Since I regularly rlogin from my workstation at
work to other and use large windows in Suntools and have had
no problems, I conclude that the problem has something to do
with the serial port and/or serial drivers. Has anybody conquered
this problem?
Unrelated problem: I seem to be having problems with flow control
over this serial line. I have a US Robotics Courier modem operating
at max baud rate. The terminal baud rate is 19200 as is the
serial port on the Sun. I have tried both the xon/xoff and
hardware (RTS) handshake protocols and I still lose characters
when catting long files. Any suggestions?
Thanks
