I'm assuming you are using dlogin to get to the VMS system rather starting up
DECW$TERMINAL on the VMS system and pointing it back to your DS3100.  If not,
ignore the rest of this message.

The echoing of ^Z, ^C, ^Y as Exit, Cancel, and Interrupt is done locally
by the VMS
terminal driver.  Since you are dlogin'ing from ULTRIX, you don't have a
VMS terminal
to do the echoing for you so dlogin echo's ^Z, ^C, and ^Y and ^Z, ^C,
and ^Y as per
the CTERM spec.  This may get fixed in a future release.

If you mean command line recall and editing doesn't work, then those are
a known
problems in dlogin.  A patched version of dlogin which corrects those
problems has
been made available to the various CSCs.

dlogin doesn't currently parse 8-bit escape/control sequences properly.

> Anyone have any suggestions?

Get the fixed dlogin from your CSC.
