Hi all.. When my wife telnets from her dos machine to my Linux system she loses her German characters, üöäß. The odd thing is that in Pine she loses all her German characters, but at the command line she can use öäü, but not ß. Also using vi none of the German symbols work. What do you guys think is wrong?

Hi Jim! Sounds like the keytable is not being set (correctly). Mine is set to de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz and I get all the characters, even over telnet.

Hi Jimmo et al... I checked and it seems that I have my system set to this keymap too. Is it possible that when I telnet into my system that it is not reading this keymap or that it is looking for a special keymap file? Or I'm using sshdos to telnet, could that be messing up the characters?

Hmmm. When I telnet from my Win98 to Linux, I get the Umlauts, etc, even in vi. What is happening? Do you get some reaction, like displaying the octel characters or is nothing happening at all? It possible that your telnet app is not sending the necessary key sequence. regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Science has promised man power...But, as so often happens when people are seduced by promises of power, the price is servitude and impotence.
