Hey y’all
I have an OpenBSD server and I access i’m trying to access it via serial port with a Opensuse computer. I have been using Minicom but its 2 emulation types (vt102 and ANSI) Dont seem to be working for me. Is there a terminal emulator for linux that supports wyse50? That would be best.
-Thanks
Why can’t you set your openbsd server to expect an ANSI, vt100 or similar terminal type on the serial port?
I tried to set it so vt100 and vt102 and for the most part that seems to work but i cannot backspace is vi editor i tried changing what the backspace button send with minicom but neither work for me.
Perhaps your openbsd session has the erase character set to something other than ctrl-h, or in any case something other than what the BS key sends in minicom. stty -a (assuming similar options to Linux stty) will show you what the tty settings are.
IIRC (it’s over 15 years since I’ve used this on UNIX):
To set the backspace as the “deleting previous character” key, type:
stty erase (after the space after "erase" hit the "backspace" key, enter)
but I’d rather use the method ken_yap describes. The backspace may not be the only thing.
