Summary: problem with enter key under telnet
Keywords: FreeBSD enter telnet
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

Hi all...

I have noticed during a recent upgrade to Free1.1.5.1R (from Net0.9)
that something screwy happens with the "enter" key on console.
Users report similar behaviour on serial ports too.

Problem typically manifests itself whilst using telnet to certain
sites (often if telnetting into a port.)

Problem is: Enter just brings up a ^M, you need to hit ^J
to actually get a NL sent.

Is this a known problem? Or am I just going crazy?
(All 4 machines on the local net running Free1.1.5.1 report
this behaviour.....)

Any help appreciated,

Phil.
