Troubleshooting
•
If you are not getting the proper line feed after a carriage return, turn on
onlcr
(converts Carriage Return to Carriage Return & Line Feed). The command is
set
line
onlcr=on
.
•
A tab (ASCII character 9) can be converted to eight spaces. Use
set
line
otab=on
if you want tabs converted.
• Some versions of telnet can cut off the end of print jobs.
Note:
If telnet cuts off print jobs, try
rsh
. (rsh is the name of the command in BSD
Unix. On some systems, the command is called
rcmd
(for example, SCO
Unix) or
remsh
(for example, HP-UX) to eliminate confusion with the
restricted shell called
rsh
.
