Hi.

I've been noticing some strange behaviour in NetBSD/sparc 1.1 in reagrd
to newlines. When I use my dialup access to telnet into my NetBSD box from
my VT220-clone ascii terminal, sometimes newlines don't seem to be being
followed by carriage returns (ie the cursor goes down a line but doesn't
return to the left of the screen).

Is there any way I can fix this? It's getting a bit irritating.

Thanks.
