Terminal emulation settings help rlogin AIX to SCO
I use a program called TinyTerm to access our AIX machine. It works fine except for when I rlogin into our SCO unix server. Backspace doesn't delete, ctrl-c doesn't work (delete key does same thing), and the most annoying thing is vi acts very wierd. I have to press the down arrow like 3 times to go down to the next line and when moving the cursor left and right. It makes editing files annoying at best and dangerous as well.

I know their are many settings for emulation and it can be tricky. How do you go about finding which terminal settings you need anyway?

It is likely that your TT is getting corrupted through the AIX.

What is the emulation you are using on the terminal? And what is the ttytype that the AIX is working with? And what with the SCO?

I am using SCOANSI to access the AIX server and then rlogin'ing into the SCO server. How do I find the tty types for the servers?

Is there a reason not using X (like xterm, dtterm...) to access you aix from your sco?
Wait...
Are you talking of access from a PC?

On both the AIX and the SCO box, type:
Code:
echo $TERM
stty -a

This will give you the basis to match the SCO keymapping to the AIX key mapping with stty commands and an approprate value for $TERM in the SCO users login profile. The arrows in vi usually needs a list of "map" commands in a .exrc file in each users home directory (see man ex) if they don't work after sorting out the stty settings. You may already have a suitable .exrc file on your AIX box.

here is the output:

Do I need to make the 2 servers TERM settings match each other? If so where do I do that? Also, is there a possibility that changing such settings would affect applications/scripts? If so, should I just make 2 different profiles on the emulation client.. one for each server and quit doing rlogin? Yes, access is from pc's.

I would go and download putty :
PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client
