Hi all, I'm having troubles with using vim over a telnet session. When i telnet into my machine and start up vim it sits there for while, until i hit ctl-c, then i get this error Error detected while processing /usr/local/share/vim/vimrc Interrupted Error detected while processing /net/fire/home/bnoyes/.vimrc: regular VI works fine. vim works if i ssh into the host. vim also works fine if i telnet into the machine from windows (using putty). but no luck if i telnet from a linux machines. (btw. The host is unixware, that's a problem in itself). Any ideas? Thanks, --Brad

Personally, I never use telnet, and I haven't run into this situation... But maybe this is a TERM setting problem? -- Orion orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org PO ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to po ta to
Yes, i think that you're right. I'm not sure what the term setting should be, or even what it's used for. i'll look on the net for some info about it. unfortunatly i have to ues telnet becuase i can't assume that all machines that all machines i will use will have ssh.

There's a way around this, by putting a java applet on the webserver of the box you want ssh access to. Downside: it's GPL, and if you provide the applet, you have to provide the source. Also, could be considered as "exporting cryptography software" if the server is in the US. http://www.mindbright.com/products/mindterm/ v1.2.1 is GPL. other versions aren't free. This is what I use, but I don't stick it in a public place and I don't tell people about it... Hmmm. I'm gonna have to kill -9 $(pidof you) now. -- Orion orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org "Boys in bed, girls in bed All now go to sleep Sleep, sweet dreams Wake to a new today tomorrow"
