Hi.

In looking at the PowerTerm description at 3270,TN3270 5250, TN5250 Terminal Emulation with VBA for Windows. :
Quote:
The PowerTerm Pro Series is Ericom Software's premier 3270 and 5250 terminal emulation solution for Windows that simplifies and extends legacy access functionality.
I would guess that the COBOL program is trying to drive the terminal in those modes ( 3270, 5250), and the odd sequences mean something to those kinds of terminals, but not to a vanilla ansi emulation.

If so, there are two packages on Debian that may be of interest:
Code:
c3270 - Curses program for telnet sessions to IBM mainframes
x3270 - X11 program for telnet sessions to IBM mainframes

There are notes at the bottom of the page at tn5250 that suggest related programs.

I think this is related to the COBOL program as Corona688 suggested, except that it may not be malfunctioning, just that it does not have the context that it was written for.

At any rate, this does not seem to me like a directly-related Linux or SSH issue ... cheers, drl
