In the Linux related newsgroups many questions about TERM are coming back every couple of weeks, together with the answers to these questions. To reduce traffic to the newsgroup, in this section I shall try to make a composition of these questions and the answers to them. Some of the answers have been checked by me as I also had related problems. Others, I have just taken from the newsgroups without testing them.
vi presenting less than 24 lines on a window with 24 lines. There are three ways to get rid of this problem:
trsh -s telnet <hostname>
stty 38400
TERM connections, whatever may be the reason of the crashes. So before starting applications people want to know whether their TERM connection is still alive or not. This can be checked using the following small shell script examples:
When you are using tcsh:
if ( { trsh -s true } ) then
...
endif
When you are using bash:
if trsh -s true; then
...
fi
Netscape is causing people problems to get it to work with TERM. The good news is that it will work under TERM. Here is how:
1. Termify netscape
2. Fire up termnetscape
under Options | Preferences | Mail/Proxys
leave _all_ of the proxy boxes blank
set the SOCKS box to 'remotehost' & 80
3. Ignore the error you get when you exit the Options menu.
4. If termnetscape fails to work right:
under Options | Preferences | Mail/Proxys
leave _all_ of the proxy boxes blank
set the SOCKS box to 'none' & 80
5. Ignore the error you get when you exit the Options menu.
