7bit ascii Telnet
 

Hi all,

I have a Digital Alpha Open VMS server that I need to be able to telnet to with linux. Currently, we use mostly win98 machines running KEA 420 from Attachmate. After failed attempts connecting properly. Let me explain this. I do connect, however if I login as sys admin everything is ok. But if I login as any user, you can see the menus but they are all out of alignment. In KEA, doesn't ask much really, I just select vt100, telnet, and I define a single key. However, it does show that its using 7bit ascii as well.
In trying to find out what was going on, I tried hyperterminal. With it, I had to set in properties to Force 7bit ascii. And it works.

I have tried gtelnet with all the possible term settings including scoansi, ansi-bbs, ect..

I have tried using xterm and exporting TERM=vt100, ect...

So, anyone know how to set 7bit ascii in gtelnet or anything else that might work ?

Thanks very much in advanced.

What about setting the character set in one of the terms, xterm,aterm or rxvt ?
I need ASCII character set.

The stty command allows you to set tty settings. You'd probably have to do something like:
stty -F /dev/ttyX cs7

But you might need some more settings for that. Anyway the following howto might help to show you how to get it done.
