#Garbage Chars
2 messages in this thread
Since I've figured out how to use Backtalk by setting the modem up properly, I
have another question about garbage ( or something) when connected to
Compuserve. I did not experience this garbage with A-talk III. When the
compuserve prompts appear, I am seeing characters such as 'Y', 'Y&' and a lot
of 'Hj's prior to the compuserve prompts. If I enter the terminal
configuration for compuserve and change something and make the change
permenant, the problem goes away…until I log in again. Then the problem
recurs based on the last permenant settings. When enter terminal configuration
and change something again the problem goes away while logged in… and then I
log in again at another time and the problem recurs. What causes this
inconsitency and is there any "Backtalk" configuration change that needs to
occur to prevent this type of garbage problem.
Thanks,
Stuart
Stuart,
Set your CIS preferences for OTHER or TTY for terminal type. then make
those settings permanent for all baud rates.
The characters you are seeing are ANSI cursor positioning sequences and
BackTalk doesn't emulate an ANSI terminal.
