We have the 'latest-greatest' version of termcap from SCO. $They seem to feel everything is working fine. But we have misc. screen $garbage, cursor hops (just seems to move by itself but is very repeatable). [further description removed] It sounds to me like your flow control, if any, isn't working properly and you're sending data (particularly control codes) faster than the terminal can handle it. I've had similar problems with IBM 3164s. Try doing tests that send a few escape sequences (the more they do, the better; clearing the screen and tabbing around might be good choices) and then run a command that sends several lines of output. If you start losing bits, then it probably means that you're sending data before the terminal has finished processing the control codes. -- __ __ _ | ...!nexus.yorku.edu!xrtll!silver | always (__ | | | | |_ |_) >----------------------------------< searching __) | |_ \/ |__ | \ | if you don't like my posts, type | for _____________________/ find / -print|xargs cat|compress | SNTF
