Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Alternatives to minicom During Remote Access? Post 302918974 by mrm5102 on Friday 26th of September 2014 12:56:51 PM

Hey Corona, thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

When I'm connected through dialup (*which is when I get that error) I see this below, for TERM:
Code:
# env | grep TERM
TERM=dumb

Ok, so I set TERM="vt100" and then re-ran minicom. This time it loaded without any errors, but the behavior is very erratic.
Re-writing over text on the same line, half cut-off words, weird spacing, etc... And eventually it just stopped either excepting my
input altogether or I just can't see what I'm typing anymore...

So I then tried screen (*after having to re-dial into the server because minicom killed my session) and screen works ALOT
better then minicom does in this instance. Screen also isn't perfectly formatting the terminal window, but it is definitely usable...
So it seems that the screen command is my best option so far (*after first setting TERM="vt100" of course)... Awesome!

This kind of reminds me when I was writing a script that I wanted to use the top command in and was having issues because top
wanted to update the terminal screen constantly and all that, but I think I remember there being an option that made it simply
reprint out the output continuing on down the terminal window, instead of just updating that terminal window by re-writing over
what was already on-screen... I was kind thinking that maybe there was something like that out there which would just continue
printing on down the terminal window instead of updating the terminal window and moving the cursor around the screen, but
I didn't see any options in the minicom or screen commands like that...

But if I don't find something other then screen in this instance, I think it could suffice...

Thanks AGAIN for your reply, you definitely got me pointed in the right direction!!

Thanks,
Matt

ul

ul(1)							      General Commands Manual							     ul(1)

NAME

       ul - Translates underlining for display on a terminal

SYNOPSIS

       ul [-i] [-t terminal] [file...]

       The ul command displays the named files (or standard input if none are given) with underlining shown as it would be on the printed page.

OPTIONS

       Causes  the  ul command to indicate underlining by a separate line containing appropriate - (dashes).  This is useful when you want to look
       at the underlining in formatted text output on a cathode ray tube (CRT) terminal.  Overrides the terminal kind specified  in  the  environ-
       ment.   The  terminfo  database is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining. If the terminal is incapable of underlining
       but is capable of a standout mode, then that mode is used instead. If the terminal can overstrike, or handles underlining automatically, ul
       acts like the cat command, simply displaying data to the screen.  If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.

DESCRIPTION

       The  ul command translates underscores to the sequence that indicates display underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by the TERM
       environment variable.

FILES

       Terminal information database.

SEE ALSO

       Commands:  col(1), colcrt(1), man(1), more(1)

       Files:  terminfo(4)
