Telnet Problem

When I try to telnet to or from my QNX machine I get the following:

termdef: Warning - terminal type previously set (TERM = qansi-m) is
unknown. Enter terminal type:

What gives?

before you telnet enter
something like

export TERM=ansi # when you go out of QNX
export TERM=qnx # when you to into QNX :slight_smile:

beware of syntactical stuff like some OS’s require to split the terms:
TERM=ansi
export TERM # or setenv TERM when you are on a csh (e.g. Solaris …)

you have to play a bit with the TERM environment variable.
Moreover try ‘telnet -8’ when you go from QNX to QNX …
good luck

Check to see that you have the file /usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m

Hi…
Same problem I faced…
now the real thing… do something like below

login as root
cd /usr/bin
mv telnet Telnet <=====note the spelling
cat > telnet
export TERM=ansi
/usr/bin/Telnet $* <== note the spelling
export TERM=qnasi-m
^D <== ie Ctrl-D
chmod 755 ./telnet

done
now it will work forever… (why?? see the posting in this thread…)

Keep Smiling
