problems in setting up Terminals

Hi,

I have two PCs. Both of them have QNX4 OS. They have TcpIp installed on each
of them. I want to start a TELNET session from the first PC to the other. I
use TERM=qnxm on the client PC.

Everything seems ok when I type my telnet command. I entered my second PC
login and password. However, when I try to edit a text file with “vedit” I
have problems. I can’t use PAGEDOWN, PAGEUP, F1, F2, F3, F4…F12 keys. I
tried several TERM (qnx, qnxs2, vt100, vt52… etc) types but I always get
the same problem.

Can someone help me please?

telnet -8 xxx

Default telnet is 7 bits. QNX keycodes are 8 bits for things like
function keys and PageUp/Down.
