(I also tried telnetting to localhost, JB> I get the same behavior.) When using rlogin it works just fine. I've seen this behavior with various recent-vintage BSD telnet clients, but usually only after suspending and restarting telnet. The telnet client code was improperly restoring ^O as a local control character. I don't have diffs handy, but if you are a competent termios hacker or can find one, you can probably fix it. [I made the code jump through hoops at restore time to make sure it left ^O unbound.] -- John Kohl <jtk@atria.com> or <jtkohl@mit.edu> working for but not representing: Atria Software sometimes hacking on: NetBSD/i386
