This set up used to work under NetBSD 0.8. Did it? I am surprised, I had the same problems with NetBSD-0.8. It turned out to be I was logging in using 8N1 (from a dialup), doing an stty cs8 -parenb to allow me to use 8 bit, and then when I used more or vi I would get the same problems as you described. There was quite a lengthy thread on this subject in one of the c.o.3.* groups about 3 - 5 weeks ago. Anyway, I fixed my problem by using 7E1 when I log in from my SCO (UGH) box at home to my NetBSD-0.8 box at work. No problems with vi, more, less... anything. If you can set your hard wired terminal to those params it may solve your problem. Good luck, I haven't upgraded to '0.9 yet, I'm waiting until these little problems are sorted out. B-). : > Can anyone shed some light on this problem? : Same problem here. I can't use VI (elvis) on my com port otherwise : the settings become very insane. : Regards - Tibor Sashegyi (cproto@cs.curtin.edu.au) Hope that is of some help. Terry.
