I normally telnet to a FreeBSD machine and run emacs on it. However, I
consistently run into the following problem:
^@ ends up suspending emacs. When I restart it with fg all the control
characters I type are echoed back and I have to kill the telnet
session since there is no way to communicate with emacs.
The behavior of ^X^C is goofy too sometimes. Basically, it feels like
emacs is not able to set the tty to raw mode for some reason.
FYI, the host from which I'm telnetting is a Sparc machine running
Solaris 2.5: Here are the tty settings on that box:
speed 9600 baud;
rows = 45; columns = 80; ypixels = 589; xpixels = 499;
eucw 1:0:0:0, scrw 1:0:0:0
intr = ^c; quit = ^|; erase = ^?; kill = ^u;
eof = ^d; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>;
start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = <undef>;
rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = <undef>;

And here are the tty settings on the FreeBSD box running FreeBSD
2.1-STABLE.
speed 9600 baud; 45 rows; 80 columns;

oflags: opost onlcr -oxtabs
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -dsrflow
-dtrflow -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;
min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>;
stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;
Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Rajappa
