This is probably a stty setting but I’ve tried several and I can’t find it.
When I log in to a UNIX box through a network, any command that causes lots of text to scroll past on my terminal window causes telnet to hang.
In a directory with 308 items, I can do ‘ls | more’ and see all the contents, I can also do ‘ls | wc’ to see the number of items, but when I do ‘ls’ or ‘ls -l’, the session echos back a newline and then hangs. I can’t break out with ctrl-C or ctrl-D, but ctrl-] brings me back to my local shell.
Other users who aren’t as far away physically from the machine can telnet to it and do an ‘ls’. I have tried multiple telnet clients (netterm and telnet from Windows), I have tried multiple computers from my more distant site without luck also.
This was working a week ago.
Any ideas?
