Hi,

I looked at all the good advice and as I have exactly the same problem
(telnetting from a Linux bos to a SCO server), I tried the solution to
install Linux terminfo on the SCO server, and now the Linux workstation
is recognized as TERM=(linux) when I log on to the server. I also
installed the termcap entries, just in case.

But, the application is still giving me odd characters instead of lines
and usual drawing characters. If I log on from a DOS box(or a real
terminal), which was designed for that application, the drawing
characters are OK. I know some applications have specific terminfo
entries, so can you give me some clues how and where I can find them on
the server. Or, is it possible from the Linux workstation to modify the
character mapping so that I don't need to fiddle around with the server.
Which I would prefer.

One thing I learned is that the telnet process uses the terminfo from
the SCO box, while I was thinking it was using the terminfo from the
Linux box. That is why any changes I would make would not work!

I managed to get the backspace keys and F keys to work with stty -a and
loading a modified keymap with loadkey.

Thank you,

Pierre Forget
