Our primary use for it is to use our UNIX machine (ISI V16) via our Kbox. Our problem is this: Control Characters (specifically the most often used ones like ^C, ^S and ^Q) don't seem to work. Well, actually they sort of work. If I see a lot of text streaming across the screen and I hit ^S to halt the flow or even ^C to interrupt, nothing happens until at least 4 or 5 more screensfull of text go by and then MAYBE ^S or ^C will take effect. Most of the time the stuff that I scroll past is less than 5 pages, so a ^C or ^S will not ever have a chance to work. In this sense it seems as if they don't work at all. Our regular terminals don't have this problem. I don't totally understand the way that information is sent back and forth between the Mac-Kbox-UNIX, but it seems to me that these characters shouldn't take anywhere near that amount of time to work (when they do). I looked in the Telnet documentation and found no reference to any problem like this, and I didn't see a reference to this problem in the "bugs" section either. Has anyone else had similar problems? Your help is greatly appreciated... Mark Frost (humtech@ucschu.UCSC.EDU) Robbie:"Yes, Miss?" Altaira:"Where have you been, I've beamed and beamed..."
